Debian Sarge AMD64 and WMV3 ..... again

[vizArt]

Dear comunity,

sorry for my stupid question, but i searched a lot of hours for finding a solution of my problem.
A customer submitted a lot of *.wmv (WMV-3) video files to my debian sarge server. To check the content of this video-files, i need to transcode them.

Okay my first solution was using the VLC-Client, but my problem is that my VLC client could not open these eindows-wmv3-files.

My questions are:
1. Is it possible to stream this video-files via VLC (on my Sarge-AMD64 Server)
2. Is it possible to install the needed win32codecs (on my Sarge-AMD64 Server)?
and if it is possible pleeeeease tell me how.
(I have no problems to compile VLC)

I found the "nightly builds" that looks very well but it is only for the sid amd64 distribution.

Please, please, please help me

regards vizArt

afaik those windows dlls are for 32bit machines and on x86_64 you cannot use them.

@thresh: many thanks for answering,

Can i use other dll's for viewing this WMV3 - Format?
Or is there any other chance to view this files via VLC on an AMD64 Debian Server?

Maybe you could try dchroot to install vlc in a 32bit environment.
