That is 100% correct.

My code, however, does not contain LGPL'd code. It merely links to the 
.dll's I provided.

It is perfectly safe and compatible to link to libavcodec of the FFmpeg 
project when using the code I provided.

The FFmpeg-related code has been in .dlls all the time. The code I use 
is from various public domain tutorials for FFmpeg.

Linking is allowed under the GNU LGPL. Please get your facts straight 
before you email this list, if you have any further license questions 
feel free to contact me personally instead of on this list. Recently 50% 
of the discussion has been license-related nonsense and people don't care.
