Is there any reason not to use the native Windows build instead?  What
does the cygwin port gain you over that?


Other that the obvious difference of Windows and POSIX paths, there will be differences in the way the two versions of ffmpeg are built. This means that two builds of ffmpeg may well support different sets of file formats. For each, try:

    ffmpeg -codecs
    ffmpeg -formats

and see which build best meets your needs.
