How to Get "Bink Video" (.bik) Format support?

[StreetCracker]

(I am not sure this is the right category/sub forum...)


I don't know how complicated it is to get .bik-support in VLC Media Player.
I tried looking at these pages, but I don't understand how to get like a "library" for format support into my VLC installation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.bik -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libavcodec
http://www.libav.org/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpeg

(FFmpeg with the libavformat library sounds like what I want to include in the VLC Media Player program...)


The thing I want to do right now is to use VLC to convert .bik format files to something else like .mp4 or .avi or whatever.

PS.
I noted this post: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=72122&hilit=.bik. Seems no one cares much for this matter, eh?..
Is it really that complex to put in that "Libav" thing into the VLC player?
With "providing samples", is it meant like files from PC Games you happen to have in your possession?
