Hi Guys,

Apologies if this is in the wrong section?

I currently run an old XP PC converting vc1 .m2ts files into mpeg2.m2ts so I can play back from a NAS via PS3.

I'm using avisynth 2.57, HCenc0.23, K-lite 32 bit codec back + an assortment of other 32 bit apps to deal with audio.

I've just got an i7 laptop running 64bit Win7 and wondered if anyone can point me in the direction of 64 bit apps that work together or offer any help on installing/ optimising my existing 32bit apps in a 64bit OS?

Thanks.

Here is a list of 64bit apps: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=157978
It probably doesn't contain everything you want, but it's a good starting point. Keep in mind that 64bit apps aren't necessarily better than 32bit. They can use more memory and they can rely on certain CPU instructions being present and thanks to the extra registers they can be faster, but if there is a lot of 32bit assembly in the program and not so much 64bit they can end up being slower.
There isn't really anything special to know about installing 32bit apps on a 64bit OS and you don't need to optimize anything either.

Thanks nurbs - I'll give that list a look.
