Help
Hi I Got a 64 bit Pc and windows and was hoping to do some speed tests with my nice 64 bit version of virtualdub, but alas there seem to be no codecs for 64 bit systems. Anyone had this problem before/ know where i can find 64 bit codecs?
Thnx
JUST SPECIFIC SOFTWARE REQUESTS.

64 bit codecs looking for xvid codec for XP 64

I believe there is 64bit drivers available for hardware, but you will have to wait for more apps ported on 64-bit Windows. May want to stick with SSE/SSE2 for time being.
A 64 bit version of DrDivX, DIVX/XVID will be out soon. Info about latest XVID beta version being ported to 64bit can be found on main site: http://www.xvid.org/
Interesting point...
You will likely see no real improvement going 64-bit in video coding outside of general architecture improvements such as an increased number of functional units and registers. 64-bit floating point arithmentic is generally used for super-precise scientific calculations where absolute precision is king and also where extreme amounts of memory are needed. In fact, due to the greater bandwidth for transporting 64-bit values from memory to your processor as well as a greater overhead for saving and restoring registers, you will see a DECREASE in speed as if it were running as a 32-bit program.

hmm the drives are all fine and even tho I prolly havent spent more than a 1hour in total on xp64, everything seemed pretty stable.
I heard abt the xvid 64 codec yes. Its sad that things move so slowly, the cpu's
have been on the market for a year now.
Slower!?
guess what your saying makes sense, I'm not too very much into the whole architecture etc, just bought the chip 'cos its the "new stuff" 
I own a little computer store, so I got it at a pretty decent price. But still they wouldnt make something if its going to be slower, i't can't be just for precise numbers only. I'm certain that if they write the apps correctly there should be some speed gains.
Anywyas as soon as the Xvid codec thingy is out we'll give it a go, thnx for the reply.

AMD was fast out of the gate...but MS was dragging their feet releasing their OS, that's the prob. 
Of course, Linux have had 64bit for awhile.
Yes, 64-bit chip has the power to dramatically improve the performance of demanding applications, such as audio and video encoding, complex engineering programs like CAD, and--of course--games. Everyday things like word processing...you won't notice the difference.

So ... in order to notice a speed difference all of the following must be present ?
1) 64-bit CPU
2) 64-bit OS
3) 64-bit application that you wanna run (games, video editing software, etc.)
Is this right ?

I think thats about it yes.
Well i got a yes yes yes there, but the 64bit encoding app depends on codecs, and to my shock they have to be 64 as well.. so well all wait for the 64Xvid one...
Whats funny tho is that Virtualdub doesnt want to open some files either, claiming no codec exists, but I can play them in media player
Also i think Far Cry Runs on 64 too.. i think I'm goin to check that out next.
