Any x86 binaries should be able to.  No x86_64 binaries will be able to.

H,

So, I cannot use wind32codecs with *any* non-binary video program on
amd64, like vlc or mplayer.

But I can used 
media-libs/win32codecs
with a binary, such as 
mplayer-bin

So  can I use win32codecs with:
seamonkey-bin ?
mozilla-firefox-bin ?
quake4-bin ?


How would one know which binary based multimedia/video/games packages work with
win32codecs?

 As far as I am informed the win32codecs are not related to any 
 archticture, they just provide codecs used on Windows Systems.
 Which errrors do you get?

Hello Jakob
Despite including 'win32codecs' in my USE flags and in the
/etc/portage/package.use (for vlc) it shows win32codecs
as not being a compiled in option.

I just discovered that you can emerge 'win32codes', so is that
what I have to do to use win32codecs with vlc on amd64 ?


emerge -pv vlc
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/vlc-0.8.6-r1  USE=X  
snip
(-win32codecs) 


???

Yes. Try emerging the win32 codecs. They should actually be installed 
automatically as a dependency. I don't think that there is a special 
package for 64bit. Just use emerge --search or gentoo-portage.com to 
find out if there are special amd64 packages available. Maybe 
win64codecs ... :-)


Cheers,
Jay
