17 OK, with mplayer-bin I am able to play the files I was interested in
18 however I've not heard of amd64codecs before. Is there some way to
19 link this into mplayer as a replacement for win32codecs?
20
21 The Gentoo Online database page for amd64codecs just points to mplayer
22 so it seems it's intended for this but I don't see an amd64codec flag
23 when I look at emerging mplayer.

25 Thanks,
26 Mark
