How to use .a files in my Visual C++ project

This is a more general question, but it refers to libdvdread library. This library is built and distributed as part of the VLC project (www.videolan.org).

I'm wanting to use these open source libraries in my Visual C++ project.

I dove into the archive and have the windows build of my library, libdvdread.a (and .la which I don't really understand) and the header file, so I should be good to go.

How do I use these in my VCC project?

I've googled a bit and found stuff that went the other way, but couldn't find links going this way.

Thanks.

https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/ specifies the compiler as minGW. You will be unable to use these libraries with Visual Studio's compiler.
