AMD64: can't watch video in firefox after dapper upgrade

[gratefulfrog]

I've tried everything, including installing the W32 codec but I don't get any video anymore...

I'm running AMD64, but it fails also in my dchroot.

This worked fine in the dchroot under hoary...

any ideas?

What sort of videos are you attempting to watch?

[gratefulfrog (gratefulfrog)]

any video on video.goolg.com
for example:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=448441135356213813&q=lisp

I can now watch it on my AMD64 firefox install, after installing some missing plugins,
but I cannot watch any video on my 32bit dchroot since the upgrade to Dapper. Although I must use the 32 bit dchroot for viewing flash and - not available on AMD64.

I have also followed the workaround that used to be available at: FirefoxAMD64FlashJava on the 64bit forum, mbut its gone now!

So my real question is why the 32bit dchroot firefox can't play videos?

flash doesn't work out-of-the-box with amd64..

This isn't a supported configuration.
