Yes, I'm pretty sure abou tit. I have everything installed, configured (spent
about 2 days setting up everything) and then I couldn't play any
windows-media-video anywhere...I did my Google search and it turns out
Mplayer(64-bit) won't load 32-bit win codecs... For the rest of the codecs
you may have no problem with mplayer...It's just those win32 codecs the
problem... Check these:

You need to install 32bit mplayer, and if you are using 64bit firefox,
you need the 32bit mplayer plugin (not the 64 bit one) and use
nspluginwrapper
(http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/) so FF uses
the 32bit mplayer.
Same for flash (only 32bit available).
I do not have 64 bit 10.2, only 10.0, so I use the 64 bit browser. I
think I read that in 10.2 by default you get the 32 bit browser, so
you will not need to use the wrapper anyway. But for sure the mplayer
need to be the 32 bit one in order to play wmv files. Even then the
results will vary, the codecs have not been changed for a long time,
newer versions of wmv exists, I have problems playing some of these
videos even on 32 bit machine. So, I just stopped to watch content in
wmv, as I do not want to tolerate content providers who do the "wrong"
stuff :)
