Since Avery Lee released a preview version of Virtualdub for AMD64 I think it should be interesting to have a 64 bit version of XviD to do some Test.
To build it vith visual Studio I know you need a DDK package that is still beta and so available only to MSDN subscriber but so far I know gcc should be able to release 64 bit version.

I am not able to program and compile myself but maybe some of you want to give it a try, I would test it.

Been covered a couple of times already. I think what came out if it is that someone (you maybe) wants to rewrite all the ASM, then there would be some point, otherwise you are just replacing 32bit ASM with 64bit C, which means a slower binary.

I would do it if only I knew a little bit of ASM or C, the only thing I see is a perl script that can convert MMX or SSE instructions to specific AMD64 SSE2.

If this is enough I would do it.
