I have two DLL files and one OCX file for a proprietary codec format to play some specific videos encoded with it. While I have an "installer" for it that works fine to register the codec for the entire PC, I want to know if it's possible to just manually add the codecs to a portable VLC install on a USB stick so I don't have to install codecs on other machines or have admin access to them.
Is there just a folder I can drop these that VLC will automatically utilize? A config file I need to modify? Do I have to recompile VLC to accommodate additional codecs? Are there any video applications that can have codecs added like this?
Also, yes, I can re-encode the video files but I'd rather have the originals and just bring the codec with me.
What video codec is it? because vlc supports a pretty massive amount of codecs including vp9 and h265 – jdwolf – 2018-05-21T08:58:27.017
They're proprietary codecs from a CCTV system. AVI files with ADV1 or ZJPG as the codec. – Zell – 2018-05-25T08:43:23.043
