x264 is an encoder only.

You don't really need a codec, just a decoder. ffdshow includes VfW and dshow decoding via libavcodec or there is CoreAVC (dshow only).

you should probably listen to what he says (http://www.aziendeassociate.it/cd.asp?dir=/x264)

http://www.aziendeassociate.it/ isn't being updated currently since Sharktooth is in hospital.

As I said though, x264 is an encoder only so it won't help, although it was what was used to create the file (via mencoder).
