Hi,

I have checked a bit. The unofficial Ubuntu package called w64codecs
does not contain (as the package description suggests) win64 DLLs for
a 64 Bit build of mplayer, but some 64 Bit Realplayer codecs. On
Mandriva, they are in the real-codecs plf package. So this will not
help in any way to play proprietary Windows Media content.

Regards, Götz
