Bug 121292 – VIDIX not compiled for AMD64

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Austin Lund 2006-02-02 05:58:04 UTC]

I cannot get the mplayer vidix drivers to compile.  Is there a trick to this or is it by design?  Is there some way to get the vidix drivers to work, perhaps by emulation in mplayer-bin?

If it helps, here is my 'emerge info':

vidix is not supported on amd64 because the codebase is not designed to work there; vidix useflag is masked by profile.
