how to get VideoProcessingFramework (PyNvCodec) to run in 2025

(by no means a comprehensive guide this took me many hours of random debugging and random jankness)

0. download the visual studio installer if you dont have it already, and install the MSVC v144 compiler, which unless you look really closely will be labeled as the v143 compiler for some reason, its only like 40 words into the official title that it tells you its actually v144 but whatever i didn't care or anything

(<FFMPEG_LOCATION> should have a bunch of folders in it, lib and bin folders and stuff)
3. run `pip i
