Methods to Fix the Libavcodec.dll Errorslink
ATTENTION! Before starting the installation, the Libavcodec.dll library needs to be downloaded. If you have not downloaded it, download the library before continuing with the installation steps. If you don't know how to download it, you can immediately browse the dll download guide above.
Method 1: Copying the Libavcodec.dll Library to the Windows System Directorylink
- The file you downloaded is a compressed file with the extension '.zip'. This file cannot be installed. To be able to install it, first you need to extract the dynamic link library from within it. So, first double-click the file with the '.zip' extension and open the file.
- You will see the library named 'Libavcodec.dll' in the window that opens. This is the library you need to install. Click on the dynamic link library with the left button of the mouse. By doing this, you select the library.
- Click on the 'Extract To' button, which is marked in the picture. In order to do this, you will need the Winrar program. If you don't have the program, it can be found doing a quick search on the Internet and you can download it (The Winrar program is free).
- After clicking the 'Extract to' button, a window where you can choose the location you want will open. Choose the 'Desktop' location in this window and extract the dynamic link library to the desktop by clicking the 'Ok' button.
- Copy the 'Libavcodec.dll' library file you extracted.
- Paste the dynamic link library you copied into the 'C:WindowsSystem32' directory.
- If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, copy the 'Libavcodec.dll' library and paste it into the 'C:WindowssysWOW64' as well.
NOTE! On Windows operating systems with 64 Bit architecture, the dynamic link library must be in both the 'sysWOW64' directory as well as the 'System32' directory. In other words, you must copy the 'Libavcodec.dll' library into both directories.
- In order to complete this step, you must run the Command Prompt as administrator. In order to do this, all you have to do is follow the steps below.
NOTE! We ran the Command Prompt using Windows 10. If you are using Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP, you can use the same method to run the Command Prompt as administrator.
- Open the Start Menu and before clicking anywhere, type 'cmd' on your keyboard. This process will enable you to run a search through the Start Menu. We also typed in 'cmd' to bring up the Command Prompt.
- Right-click the 'Command Prompt' search result that comes up and click the Run as administrator' option.
- Let's copy the command below and paste it in the Command Line that comes up, then let's press Enter. This command deletes the Libavcodec.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor(The library that we copied to the System32 directory does not perform any action with the library, it just deletes the registry in the Windows Registry Editor. The library that we pasted into the System32 directory will not be damaged).
%windir%System32regsvr32.exe /u Libavcodec.dll
- If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, after doing the commands above, you also need to run the command below. With this command, we will also delete the Libavcodec.dll library's damaged registry for 64 Bit (The deleting process will be only for the registries in Regedit. In other words, the dll file you pasted into the SysWoW64 folder will not be damaged at all).
%windir%SysWoW64regsvr32.exe /u Libavcodec.dll
- In order to cleanly recreate the dll library's registry that we deleted, copy the command below and paste it into the Command Line and hit Enter.
%windir%System32regsvr32.exe /i Libavcodec.dll
- Windows 64 Bit users must run the command below after running the previous command. With this command, we will create a clean and good registry for the Libavcodec.dll library we deleted.
%windir%SysWoW64regsvr32.exe /i Libavcodec.dll
- If you did all the processes correctly, the missing dll file will have been installed. You may have made some mistakes when running the Command Line processes. Generally, these errors will not prevent the Libavcodec.dll library from being installed. In other words, the installation will be completed, but it may give an error due to some incompatibility issues. You can try running the program that was giving you this dll file error after restarting your computer. If you are still getting the dll file error when running the program, please try the 2nd method.

Find the program giving you the dll error in the list and right-click it. Click the 'Uninstall' item in the right-click menu that appears and begin the uninstall process.

Method 5: Fixing the Libavcodec.dll Errors by Manually Updating Windowslink
Some programs need updated dynamic link libraries. When your operating system is not updated, it cannot fulfill this need. In some situations, updating your operating system can solve the dll errors you are experiencing.
In order to check the update status of your operating system and, if available, to install the latest update packs, we need to begin this process manually.
Depending on which Windows version you use, manual update processes are different. Because of this, we have prepared a special article for each Windows version. You can get our articles relating to the manual update of the Windows version you use from the links below.
