In general, I hate it when support people respond to a question with "why on 
earth would you want to do that" but I admit, it's hard not to think that way in 
this case; the codec is now 20 years old, and was useful only to create small 
videos that would play on a 1992 PC given the processing power available.

Perhaps if you told us what your overall purpose was, you might get a useful 
hint on how to achieve your objective in a reasonable way.

(P.S. I believe that Windows relies on codec DLLs being 'installed', but FFmpeg 
doesn't work that way; having a Cinepak (or any other) codec 'on your computer' 
is not going to enable FFmpeg to use it.)
