They are, and they can't.
Real DLLs cannot be directly executed but they can be called by executable
files. The same is true for .so files on *nix.
(I am ignoring the possibility that someone has put .so or .dll on an
otherwise correct executable file- you -could- create an executable of
ffmpeg and called ffmpeg.so (or "asdf.qwer") and directly execute that, but
it's way past "not recommended". If something is called .so, it's assumed to
be a shared-object file.)
So if I can get ffmpeg to be built as a dll, should I not be able to
create a .so file for ffmpeg to execute through?
It sounds like you are really unclear on the differences between shared
*libraries* and *executable files*. It's also unclear what problem you are
trying to solve; the solution you seem to be looking for is probably the
wrong one.
Later,
