What steps do I need to take to enable video playback on an x86_64 system running the NVIDIA proprietary driver? Is this even possible? I had heard that the proprietary driver didn't work for playback. I've tried to install the w32-codecs to get kaffiene running and they don't seem to be taking...
Any help would be appreciated.

Rich, You do realize that all the codecs presently available are 32bit, don't you? Nobody has released any 64bit compiled codecs yet that I am aware of. Considering that, you have found as many 64bit users have that 64bit compiled players don't work well with 32bit codecs. I know there are workarounds in use and I'm sure some here have them working, so maybe they'll enter the discussion to help you.
In other words, Kaffiene is 64bit, the codecs are 32bit and not a good match. ;o)

Ah. I feel dumb. You're right. I can see it now. It just wasn't making a connection in my brain. Thanks, Richard Lemon
