Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - How do I use the Xvid codec without really installing it?

My uni doesn't allow me to install Virtual Dub or the Xvid codec. I got vdub to work anyhow by just putting every DLL into vdubs directory.

So i wondered if there was a similar solution to my Xvid problem?

Is there a way to put all necessary files for the Xvid codec somewhere where Vdub can find them, which doesn't involve installing, or accessing system folders etc.?
Thanks!

I guess that in general my question is:

How do i make Virtualdub as portable as possible? (without using VirtualdubPortable, cos that one seems infected with spyware.)

Also, if anyone knows a codec which works with WMV under Linux/Ubuntu, i'd really like to know ...
