I tried the codec from my windows install with the same result. However I think even the windows codec was 32-bit as the path was %SYSTEM%/SysWOW64/vp7vfw.dll. This raises a question, is it possible to use the 32-bit binary codecs if mplayer was compiled with the proper `./configure' options or expecting something like that is completely unreasonable? If this is possible a bugzilla with rpmfusion would do the trick. ;) > Best, :-) > Marko > -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
