Yes, it does.
However, FFmpeg does not install any system codecs.
You could install IV50 that was delivered for free with the Intel Play
microscope in ancient times and thus can still be found for free on the
Internet (though hard to find). The codec was later bought by Ligos.
There are some security issues with this codec, though.

As an alternative, you may use the FFmpegSource2 (or the DirectShow)
input filter with AVIsynth, if you software can be fed by the frame server.
