-original message- Subject: [FFmpeg-user] to 64 or 32 From: Jim Shupert <jshupert@pps-inc.com> Date: 2011-05-27 16:50 friends, I am about to put together a system and was wondering what might be suggested 32 bit or 64 I am thinking of a ubuntu 10.4 machine hp wx8400 with a black magic decklink card if anyone has an opinion... ____ x86_64 is faster because there are 8 more general-purpose registers. Seeing as ffmpeg x86 asm is mostly sse, this may be somewhat less relevant.
