Description
Hi
This error occures when calling avcodec_open2 with the AV_CODEC_ID_H265 or AV_CODEC_ID_H264 encoder on windows:
"COM must not be in STA mode\n"
Could not open the codec: "Invalid argument"
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows failure at the avcodec_open2 call using the H265 and H264 encoder paths described in the report. Investigate the reported COM STA-mode error alongside the resulting Invalid argument message; done means codec opening succeeds on Windows for the affected encoders, with the behavior verified against the original failure.
