nv-codec-headers provides header files which dynamically
loads nvcuda.dll, nvcuvid.dll and nvEncodeAPI{,64}.dll.

Similary, AMF loads amfrt{64,32}.dll dinamically.

The codec itself is implemented in the dlls which is provided
by nVidia/AMD. mfx_dispatch also does the similar. It loads
some dlls dynamically privided by Intel.
