This project is almost the same as https://github.com/zig-gamedev/zig-gamedev but has a few more commits. Could you please provide the usage instructions for this project? Can it be used for Zig + FFmpeg development, or is this project only for building FFmpeg?

This project is a fork of https://github.com/allyourcodebase/ffmpeg that I made some commits to update it to zig 1.15.2, feel free to use it if you wish but the usage instructions are the same as the original project.

It can be used for Zig + FFMpeg development, mainly through the "av" module, as it says in the README, check out the doc/examples to see how to use it.

Do you want to say Zig 0.15.2?
and The original project cannot be built under the zig-0.16.0-dev version due to numerous version errors.

I cant really reproduce this on my end, just tried to use it on a fresh project without issues but I can see that you are using Windows, and the currently linked nasm project doesn't support Windows.

I tried changing the nasm to one that should work on Windows, but I have no Windows machine to test on so it may not work. Please do try it.

Sorry but I really don't have much time to give to this, I only created this repo for my own usecases so you may want to try to fix these issues yourself.
