The MSVC project for VLC is really in bad shape because nobody in the 
developpement team is using this compiler, so it's not expected to work out 
of the box as you already noticed :(

For this particular problem, I think it comes from the fact that MSVC 
doesn't recognize the __inline__ keyword, so to get rid of this problem you 
should define __inline__ as __inline somewhere.
Alternatively you can just not compile the dvd plugin, for this you have to 
disable the libdvdcss and plugins/dvd files in the project.

By the way, if you fix the MSVC build, we are interested in patches :)

Hope this helps,
