libpacketizer_hevc_plugin.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like libpacketizer_hevc_plugin.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like OneDriveSetup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. VLC Media Player) could share the same libpacketizer_hevc_plugin.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when libpacketizer_hevc_plugin.dll is attempted to be loaded either when VLC Media Player is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common libpacketizer_hevc_plugin.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - libpacketizer_hevc_plugin.dll.
- libpacketizer_hevc_plugin.dll could not be found.

Your libpacketizer_hevc_plugin.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with VLC Media Player), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, libpacketizer_hevc_plugin.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading VLC Media Player, system crash while loading libpacketizer_hevc_plugin.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
