VLC does not support MSS2 codec for now. It should be supported in release 2.1 as can be seen from the comments here https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/750. The latest version available for download for now is 2.0.4. So wait for version 2.1 or try some other player for example MPlayer which supports MSS2 codec.
