Hi Finley,

Do you know if it's possible to use win codecs for mplayer on x86_64 FC5?
How could i do in order to play wmv in x86_64?

Regards.

Ariel

Because in the past others have reported problems with either Xine and /
or Mplayer having trouble accessing the codecs via a symbolic link
rather than directly. It seems to be more reliable this way.
