Quick MPlayer Question

tray4267 · #1 26th February 2009, 12:48 AM

Will the 64-bit version of MPlayer work with the 32-bit codecs or do the codecs need to be the 64-bit ones? I can find the essentials codecs on the MPlayer site for 64-bit but there is no all-20071007 for x64.

you need the 32bit version of mplayer to use the 32bit codecs (lots are just 32bit windows dlls)

BUT, many codecs in the rpmfusion repo should work in 32bit and 64bit for the majority of cases, I use vlc and kaffeine with xine-lib-extras* in x86_64 and they play nearly everything.
