I think using mplayer-bin for x86 in compatibility mode should work with win32codecs.

My understanding is that win32codec is generally not 64bit safe, but they'd be fine on amd64 if you're running your OS as 32bit. If you're running in 64 bit then you'll need: emerge -pv amd64codecs kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You can't use win32codecs on amd64 at all, unless you are using a 32 bit binary program with them. Simple as that. So VLC cannot use 32 bit binary codecs, unless someone made a vlc 32-bit binary and put it in the tree. Steve -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
