the only files amd64codecs provides are these: /usr/lib64/codecs/cook.so /usr/lib64/codecs/drvc.so /usr/lib64/codecs/sipr.so i believe they are all related to Realaudio/realvideo and there are NO other codecs (as opposed to the win32codecs pack which has various things). When all the real* stuff was masked recently, amd64codecs went along with them.
