title: Use FFmpeg in Visual Studio
body: <p>I'm trying to use FFmpeg in a C++ project in Visual Studio 2010. I want to include the libraries as statically linked files. Simple programs like <a href="http://cekirdek.pardus.org.tr/~ismail/ffmpeg-docs/api-example_8c-source.html" rel="noreferrer">libavcodec/api-example.c</a> compile without error and no linker error appears in the error view when starting them. However, a message box shows up after starting the application, saying that avutil-51.dll is missing. Do you have any hints on how to fix that?</p>
  
  <p>I used the latest dev build from <a href="http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/" rel="noreferrer">http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/</a>. Then I specified include as additional include directory, avcodec.lib;avfilter.lib;avformat.lib;avutil.lib as additional dependencies and lib as additional library directory.</p>
