{ ffmpeg doesn't include the dlls and that's what's used these days }

Exactly. FFmpeg is a collection of codecs written under the GPL. Original code. Not a copy. Not Windows dlls.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpeg
http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/

More specifically, the codecs are in the libavcodec package, which is part of ffmpeg.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libavcodec
"libavcodec is a free software/open source LGPL-licensed library of codecs for encoding and decoding video and audio data; it is written in the C programming language. It is part of the FFmpeg-project and many free/open source applications rely on it."
