64-bit?

[asarian]

Odd. I see no 64-bit AviSynth. I can only find an unofficial 64-bit version of AviSynth+ (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=168856)

Is that the one we're supposed to use? Or am I missing something obvious? :)

Thx.

I think "official" Avisynth does not support 64-Bit currently. I don't know, if there are any plans for an official 64-Bit version.

Anyway, there are some "unofficial" 64-Bit builds of Avisynth listed here:

Thx. Yeah, that page leads to the one 64-bit version I could find.

And I hope there are plans. Even with process separation, I can barely keep Full-HD content within memory bounds. Imagine what will happen when 4k content hits the street! :)

Regarding all of the unofficial versions, 64-bit version of AviSynth+ is probably the most sane version to date. It supports new planar colorspaces and other features available in 2.6, it also supports the older 64-bit plugins while none of the other versions support the new 64-bit plugins introduced in AVS+ (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=169832). There's a post by ultim explaining why AviSynth+ is superior to all other 64-bit versions but unfortunately I cannot find it. :/

tl;dr - Use AviSynth+ and forget about the other crappy 64-bit versions :)

Thx. :) I'm still just a bit wary replacing my (stable) 32-bit 2.6 AviSynth. Especially since I'm using an MT version of it (which will probably not mesh well with AS+, I reckon).

Ok, just for reference here's the post by ultim I mentioned earlier: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1655071&postcount=297

Thx for the links. :)

Perhaps you know, can AS+ be used with 64-bit MT too?

tho winnt x64 can run both ia32 and x64 programs, but an x64 program can not call ia32 dlls, so all plugins called by avs x64 gotta be x64 binaries, u can't use ur old ia32 dlls on avs x64, and there're still lots of plugins not available for x64 binaries, so u gotta compile x64 binaries urself, that could be a pain in the ass

Hmm, I used to do a lot of compiling on FreeBSD; for Windoze, though, I dunno, never really done it. I suspect it will be harder, though.

Keyboard malfunction? :rolleyes:

You can't just compile 64 Bit plugins, in most cases the code needs to be properly ported to 64 Bit.

oops, I donno much about filter development, I still ain't done one single avs plugin yet, but programs I dealt with, most of them can just be recompiled to x64 in vs2013, just change a little parameter in building properties then everything is okay unless there're asm parts mixed in c/cpp code which seems pretty common among filter plugins, that's why I said that's a pain in the ass
