    Hi, do you know whether there are any benefits of using a 64 bit software player to playback HD footage encoded with H.264 / mpeg4 rather then using a 32 bit software package?
    Anybody tried it?
    Thanks,
    Sergiu

    Little, if any difference at the moment for playback. But that can change any day. There's an Xvid 64 version posted here, but I haven't seen any h264 implementations yet.

    There is a 64bit build of x264, however x264 doesn't include a decoder. mplayer can be compiled 64bit, although not under windows.

    Not to sure on ffdshow's 64bit status, but it is being worked on. I think currently it at least compiles.
