I don't think so. 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
