To avoid a repost of this thread, I  give you the answer to your issue
here. But please direct mingw-w64 relate question better directly on
mingw-w64's ML.
As libmingwex.a is part of the runtime-environment we provide (and is
strongly related to gcc, binutils, libmingw32.a, and our
startup-code), I would recomment also for not trying to use those
static libraries within a VC project. Anyway there is a way you can
use ffmpeg within VC. You need to generate the DLL version of ffmpeg
and create via a .def file an import-library. How to create an
import-library out of a .def file, you can find AFAIR on mingw.org's
and mingw-w64's Wiki in the FAQs.

Kai
