Use then 64bit versions of MPC-HC, Xvid (if you want to have a postprocessing), LAV Filters (Splitter, Audio, Video [for Hi10p support, for others use internal MPC-HC decoder with DxVA support])
If you have nVidia card you can also try LAV CUVID Decoder, but it not works with Hi10p, so use LAV Video decoder for this instead.
For 32bit just use MPC-HC, madVR, Xvid (if you want to have a postprocessing), LAV Filters (Splitter, Audio [Video isn't needed because madVR contains the same "pack"])

Why would you use 64bit versions when they have no benefit, but a disadvantage (not being able play Hi10P / run madVR)?
Basically, I look for a setup which gives the broadest range of files which play without problems on a HTPC setup.
If 32bit software can run
all files which can be played by 64bit software and more (Hi10P), there is no need to install 64bit.
Only if there are disadvantages of 32bit (like 64bit yielding more performance or stability), 64bit would make sense. Is that the case?
The setup should be something which runs everything I throw at it and still is sufficiently simple so non-tech savvy members of my family can use it.
