-No. Use @code{mingw-gcc} available at @url{http://www.mingw.org/} to
-compile the code. It generates object files fully compatible with other
-windows compilers.
+Yes, but the MinGW tools @emph{must} be used to compile FFmpeg. You
+can link the resulting DLLs with any other Windows program. Read the
+@emph{Native Windows Compilation} section in the FFmpeg documentation
+to have more information.
 
 @section Can you add automake, libtool or autoconf support ?
