That depends on the codec. If you get it as a Video for Windows driver you can use almost any video editor for Windows (it will appear in the VfW encoder list, where you have the standard entries like Microsoft Video 1 or Uncompressed). If it's a stand-alone application, you need to first check which input formats it can take, and how you feed it to the codec.
For the RAD Game Tools for example, you get a very easy-to-use GUI for Windows. It can read most common video formats, and with the buttons "Smack it" and "Bink it" you can turn them into .SMK or .BIK video files. Most other stand-alone codecs are command-line programs though, so you need to read their documentation to see how to use them.
