I don't think so.

win32codecs install some dll files which come precompiled from
windows. There's no way to change that, they are dll's compiled
for x86. They work only for that arch. That's why chosing
closed formats is *never* a good idea.

Your best bet is the try the absolute latest ffmpeg and pray that
they have included support for the concrete format you need.
