I recently found x86-64 versions of the binary codecs here:
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/
I did not test them yet though.
Thanks for the info Ingemar. I was not aware the mplayer folks had 64bit
codecs too. To add to this possible solution, the Fluendo people sell
legally licensed codecs for both i386 and x86_64 here:
https://shop.fluendo.com/
I have not tried the 64bit versions of either but would not mind
supporting Fluendo by buying their set at 28 euros.
Now if only a 64bit Flash plugin and working ATI drivers for F7 became
available so I can move over to 64bit F7.
Hope this helps others too.
