Unfortunately, no. Windows x64 does not contain a 64bit version of
media player, so I assume that the codecs are still 32bit. (Which is
weird, since video and database is always mentioned as the main
strength of 64bit processing :-)).

I think it should be possible to include the 32bit codecs in a 64bit
process using some "linking glue". Hotwever, I have no idea whether
anyone is working on that. I would be nice, though :-)
