VfW is an API that predates DirectShow on Windows, and was the original API that provided access to the system's video codecs. I'd wager that today, it's extremely non-portable, and shouldn't be used. Instead, prefer either the DirectShow API or a separate library like either Lame or libmad or a framework like ffmpeg.
