Re: [Freevo-users] freevo installation on a AMD 64 X2 : linux 32 bits or 64 bits ?
As freevo and most of the multimedia software is either optomized for 32 bit or only available in 32 bit (win32 codecs), you really end of with little or no gain in most cases with the 64bit setup. This also true of most desktop setups. 64bit only really come in to its own in compute heavy loads with softare made to take advantage of it. Do we really need win32 codecs anymore? My 64 bit system doesnt have it, and I´m able to play the usual files (avi, xvid, divx) and also mkv. I didnt tried every file type but so far xine is playing everything I tried (err... not mkv... but mplayer do it fine). -- Christian Lyra POP-PR - RNP http://lyra.soueu.com.br If the Tao is great, then the operating system is great.

[Freevo-users] freevo installation on a AMD 64 X2 : linux 32 bits or 64 bits ?
Hi, Just starting a brand new installation of a brand new system build on a AMD X2 64 bits processor. I installed a 64 bits version of Linux, and freevo is happy with that. But I discovered that some other code are not so 64bit ready. So the question is : Is there any interest other than the technical perf to use a x64 version of Linux for freevo ? Can I hope better perfs, smoother system, or what else ? On contrary, are there still a lot of software not compatible with a x64 version ? At this time, I hang on flash player (and this seems to be a real issue), and also, it seems that my trouble to use the VFD display of my system could also be related to the fact that the code is not 64 bit ready. This should probably be fairly easy to correct, as the source code is only a few pages long, but as I speak c not better than Chinese, I cannot be the correcter :-| Thanks, Pascal - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo installation on a AMD 64 X2 : linux 32 bits or 64 bits ?
Pascal- So the question is : Is there any interest other than the technical perf to use a x64 version of Linux for freevo? For most home systems right now, it is mainly a matter of technical preference. I run serveral 32 and 64 bit rigs, same hardware and software load outs, and really see very little difference in performance for about 90% of what they get used for. The remaining 10% is all heavy duty simulation code using 64bit versions of apps. Can I hope better perfs, smoother system, or what else ? As freevo and most of the multimedia software is either optomized for 32 bit or only available in 32 bit (win32 codecs), you really end of with little or no gain in most cases with the 64bit setup. This also true of most desktop setups. 64bit only really come in to its own in compute heavy loads with softare made to take advantage of it. You have mention you are going with a dual core. That should give you a nice response improvement over all. On contrary, are there still a lot of software not compatible with a x64 version ? Mplayer, I know has had some issues with with 64bit. Mostly these have been do to needing to work with 32 bit codec. - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
