There is hardly any way to avoid that. The extension will only be
useable, if it produces at least MP4 (x264) output. This means ffmpeg
has to be compiled with x264 support. And you cannot compile libx264
with native MSVC:

The same accounts for many more libraries that are compiled into FFmpeg.
When you are on a Windows platform, there only is one rock-solid FFmpeg
implementation: Zeranoe's builds.
Zeranoe's builds are cross-compiled on Linux, using MingGW-w64.
However, the DLL's are not dependent on any external cygwin-dll or
libgcc-dll, so they are pretty much self-contained.
