If you get a released source tar.gz file it contains project files for
visual studio. Large parts of vlc can be compiled with these project files,
but I'm told it is a pain in the ass to compile all needed third party
libraries for/with Visual Studio. Some are even impossible to compile
directly and require nasty hacks to be accessible from visual studio.

The process of compiling a VLC for windows is described in detail in this
document: http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/vlc/INSTALL.win32

I don't think I can provide more detailed information than in the
compilation instruction document linked to above, unless I get a more
detailed question.


Hope this helps a bit.
