You don't need to get any other lib, that package contains them all (in
fact, the other one was already enough for most common use).

Your problem is strange, though.
You should have a "plugins" subdirectory containing many .dll files, do
you have it ? This directory must be in the same directory as vlc.exe,
or vlc won't work correctly.
