13 That's strange as I have it installed here on this amd64 box:

17 17:49 /etc/make.profile -> /var/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop/

19 alan@nazgul ~ $ emerge -pv mplayer

30 All I did to get it was copy my portage configs over from the old 32 bit
31 machine.

33 x264 is masked out of the standard amd64 profile:
34 alan@nazgul ~ $ grep -r x264 /var/portage/profiles/* | grep amd64
35 /var/portage/profiles/arch/amd64/use.mask:# codec support x264
36 /var/portage/profiles/arch/amd64/use.mask:-x264
37 /var/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/use.mask:# codec support x264
38 /var/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/use.mask:-x264
39 /var/portage/profiles/hardened/amd64/use.mask:# codec support x264
40 /var/portage/profiles/hardened/amd64/use.mask:-x264
41
42 But I didnt override this in a profile, just put it in USE:
43 alan@nazgul ~ $ grep -r x264 /etc/portage/*
44 /etc/portage/package.use/package.use:media-video/mplayer 3dnow 3dnowext -bl
45 cdparanoia -gtk libcaca live lzo mmx mmxext musepack real rtc srt -tga x264
