Seems like you have disabled everything except ffmpeg. Perhaps your ffmpeg
is built with lots of unnecessary stash. Try to compile ffmpeg with release
options.

Also, what do you plan to use this version for? It seems fairly useless with
all those features disabled.

Adding --disable-plugins would reduce the total size of the application by
including all modules in the .exe and thus dropping the overhead of the dlls
for the plugins. And finally there is upx to compress the binary.
