. win32codecs install some dll files which come precompiled from windows. There's no way to change that, they are dll's compiled for x86. They work only for that arch. That's why chosing closed formats is *never* a good idea. Your best bet is the try the absolute latest ffmpeg and pray that they have included support for the concrete format you need. -- Jesús Guerrero

cdemu is more like the infamous windows based Daemon Tools, they mount the iso like if it was a regular driver, then you can enter that drive and operate as if it was a phisical cdrom/dvd reader. If you don't like the command like, there's a graphical frontend for it, called gcdemu that might suit you better. -- Jesús Guerrero

.28 it takes around 10%. Who cares? I do. The driver just doesn't work, these are not minor annoyances, as you paint them, these are big problems. And the ebuild should be eliminated, and the old one depending on <2.6.29 should be restored. I really advice to stay in .28 if you are going to use fglrx. -- Jesús Guerrero
