Possibe split each codec to dynamic library

[JezSonic]

Just wondering if each codec like libvpx can be splitted out of avcodec dynamic library to its own, like libvpx.dll on windows.

Can someone tell me how can i reach this goal? I'm just curious if will it make decoding/encoding faster in performance or not

The only thing that makes sense is if you want to make a separate build with a different set of decoders etc for increased compatibility with more video/audio formats.. but it won't affect the performance, just the size of the output libraries. Currently only a small set of decoders is selected in the automated build to avoid licensing issues with patent/license encumbered codecs.

The only thing that makes sense is if you want to make a separate build with a different set of decoders etc for increased compatibility with more video/audio formats - That's what i want to do

I just don't know how could i reach my goal.

My goal is to reach something like... for example when I have added lame into that project, i want the lame codec to be exported as separate library, outside of avcodec...

Is that even possible? If so, do You know ways how can i achieve that? I have been searching for this on google etc. byt i didn't find any good results :/

I don't understand why you want it to be separate.. ffmpeg expects to know at build time what codecs it has

While unsure how to do that with Libav itself (it's entirely on how you build that third-party library) You can build your own plugin for the interface based on this one.
