That's true, you should use gcc, make sure you have read
https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile

For rebuilding one module the process goes like this:

cd vlc/contrib/win32/ffmpeg
### patch
make install
# now your new static libavcodec.a is installed in
vlc/contrib/i686-w64-mingw32
cd vlc/build/modules
make libavcodec_plugin.la
# now your new vlc avcodec plugin dll is in .libs/libavcodec_plugin.dll
# copy that dll in your install folder inside plugins/codec and you're
good to go
