Plans on 64bit Version?

[Lorek]

Do you plan on releasing a version of RB that will run natively on a 64bit windows machine in the near future? I know of a bunch of people migrating to 64bit recently.

Aren't the capibilities of 64-bit computing exiting? The next few years are going to be interesting indeed... seeing where it all goes.

The thing is, though... without using an encoder that's already native 64-bit, there wouldn't be a point. Everything would still have to run on a 32-bit platform. I suppose there'd be a certain degree of speed increase if Rebuilder's processing and rebuilding modes had 64-bit capabilities; but the meat-and-potatoes is always going to be your encoder. If they ("they" being the maker of your encoder of choice) put out a 64-bit encoder, then Rebuilder pretty much already IS set up for 64-bit -- aside of perhaps a few tweaks from Jdobbs. I'm not sure if the installer is 16- or 32-bit (Windows XP 64 doesn't support 16-bit programs, at least to my knowledge).
