Sorry for the late answer.
VLC doesn't currently support WinNT4 because VLC requires DirectX5 and 
WinNT4 only has DirectX3 support which is included in the latest Service 
Packs.
However, you can try the SDL plugin which is available on the videolan.org 
download page. This plugin should be able to display video but on Win32 it 
has a big problem: you cannot interact with the video window (move it, 
resize it ...)

I'm currently thinking about using DirectX3 instead of DirectX5 for the 
directx plugin. If I don't notice any loss of performance I might make the 
switch for the next release.
