 Riot Games currently (as of LoL 9.23) distribute an 'ffmpeg.dll' (a weird
 amalgamation of the libraries) with their game.

 I have attempted to contact them via several ways such as their own
 ticketing system, e-mail to their 'privacy' email address, and publicly
 via Twitter with no response.

 Here is a dump of the global symbols used (most information including
 copyright notice has been stripped):
