Scaling error when modifying libswscale library

[s.g.]

Using the source code for VLC 1.0.0, in the file vlc\extras\contrib\src\ffmpeg\libswscale\swscale_internal.h, I am increasing the value of VOF from 2048 to 20480 so that larger image/video resolutions may be displayed.

Once I do this, using cygwin, I do a "make clean", "make", and then "make install" in the directory vlc\extras\contrib\src\ffmpeg.
Then I go into the directory vlc\modules\video_filter and do a "make clean" and then a "make" in order to generate a new libswscale_plugin.dll file.

I then add this new libswscale_plugin.dll file to the plugin directory of fresh VLC 1.0.0 binaries that I have downloaded from VideoLan.

Now, whenever I load in any image size (whether it be 640x480 or 4096x4096), I always get the following error:
"No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video "fake". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this."

However, if I replace the libswscale_plugin.dll with the original one that came with the fresh VLC 1.0.0 binaries, everything is fine again and I can run those image sizes.

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong, or as to how to allow for larger images/videos sizes?

Thanks.

Open Tools -> Messages... (set Verbosity to 2) before opening the media file and it should display more messages.

[s.g.]

Here is some of the output that shows the three error messages that are reported (note that no image is ever displayed)...Are there other modules I need to recompile if I make changes to libswscale?

One thing to add, is even if I just leave the VOF value as its original value, and then perform the compile procedure I described above, I get the same error.

Then I would have to guess that for some reason the .DLL you generate, isn't fully compatible with VLC.
