FFMPEG + libx264 Compiling On Windows With MSVC: The Complete Walkthrough

Today we are compiling FFmpeg with libx264 on Windows 10, using MSVC (Microsoft Visual C++) as compiler.
First we compile libx264 in order to be included later.
Then we compile FFmpeg with all the necessary flags.
In the end, we test our result.

I tried to explain the whole process and the meaning of all the flags. Just in case there are questions or doubts, feel free to comment down below!
