  2. Does ffdshow show up at all in VirtualDub's codec list?

    Some time later... I had a chance to try this out on a Win7 64 bit installation. The 64 bit versions of ffdshow I found installed easily and properly but they did not include the h.264 encoder. Ffdshow showed up in VirtualDub's encoder list but the pulldown for selecting the encoder in the ffdshow config dialog did not include h.264.

    Thanks... I'll stick with the 32bit version. I get 110fps H264 with a Quad Core Q9550

  4. In my experience with video encoding, getting 64 bit versions of the software only gets you about 10 percent more performance. Not worth the hassles.

  5. The problem is everything in the chain has to be 64-bit, including avisynth, all plugins, ... not easy to do and get it working properly. If you do manage to get it working properly, jagabo is right, at best you only get ~10% increase.

    If you don't set it up correctly, you often get ~10% slower....LOL. So I agree with jagabo, not worth the hassle

    Even with everything set up properly you sometimes get 10 percent slower!

    Agreed. About the only 64-bit apps I've seen great improvements on were Blender 64 and a 64-bit defrag utility I have. Blender 64 can render about 40% faster than Blender 32.

    Video editing and encoding present some real challenges as already mentioned.

    Thanks people. I just thought I'd ask because as of this date I have not found anything that needs a 64bit operating system, and a lot of programs that won't work with it. ....but my dual boot is there, so I will keep trying.

    .....and I was really hoping someone would contradict me.
