Try to check all the files you're using that may have global variables 
and get rid of it.

You might also create various instances of libavcodec/libavformat if you 
need to read various things at the same time.

Finally, if you access the same decoder/encoder from various thread you 
have to protect the calls yourself with a mutex, via an extra layer of code.
