I have noticed that Peixoto's Patch uses both libvlc and libvlccores DLL files to deal with video playback issues in older games. I have recently tried it out on a game called The Wheel Of Time which depends on QuickTime video player and the GOG version includes it, however despite hearing the audio the game shows a black screen. After when i've added these two mentioned DLL files as "native, builtin", the videos show up properly.

Found out about that while browsing Peixoto's Patch Profile files which are saved in INI files in order to learn how it fixes the FMV playback as mentioned in PCGamingWiki page.

Wouldn't bother using Peixoto's Patch itself, it does not work at all with Wine.
