The installation error isn't important - it's due to ffmpeg build
changes and shouldn't affect normal operation.  I've fixed it in the
latest script.

However, the missing mysql patches are crucial to configuring Qt with
mysql support.  Without it Qt configure fails, well it does for me.  I
don't understand how your build completed successfully without them.

The patch is identical to that for mysql 5.1.55 so you could:
mv mythpatches-0.24/mysql-5.1.55-win32 mythpatches-0.24/mysql-5.1.58-win32

or simply delete the old patches and allow mythbuild to download the latest.

The patches also fix a problem with the debug build.  If you want to get
a full traceback for a runtime error then a debug build is essential.

I think that you should run a clean build: mythbuild.sh -C

You may want to try Windows DXVA2 support.  If so you'll need to rebuild
mythtv:
DXVA2=yes mythbuild.sh -W -t0 mythtv
