Which plugins can I delete and still play MP4(h264/AAC) using libvlc?

This question can be put in more general terms: how can I get to know which plugins are in use while playing file X?

OK, so is there any kind-of easy way to tell which plugins are in use during playback? I tried to use file-access timestamp on plugin dlls but those do not change.

there's a module tree in dialogs.
module name might not match.
:!: If you want your problem to be solved :
* First read troubleshooting guide VSG:Main
* Always provide verbose LOGS ! (command line or from gui)
* Always check your issue against a developer build from Nightly Build of VLC
* Tell us when your problem is solved !

Thank you for your answer but I don't understand - I have libvlc and I am not sure what you mean by 'dialogs'. If you could clarify, thanks.

It depends on a lot more than the fact that you'd exclusively play MP4 bit streams containing H.264 and AAC. You need to figure out what plugins do and whether you might need them, one by one.
