[vlc-devel] VLC worked in 64bits native binary format on Vista x64

[xxcv]

Hi,
> Good to hear. Did you do any performance comparisons between 32 and 64 bit builds? And how big is the size difference between 32 and 64 bit binaries (like libavcodec_plugin.dll and libvlc.dll)?

It can not be measured as of yet because of a unknown bug which prevents 
any optimization.
I definitely noticed that it seems to run a lot quicker while I was 
testing some samples.
.mlp audio file for one can't be playback I don't know why it seems to 
enter some sort of endless loop, massive PTS out of range dropping buffers.
And Jpeg picture is displayed distorted its like the picture with old 
VCR with broken tape it used libavcodec motion jpeg codec.
Size is too big to count.. I didn't notice that until now.
Also noticed when 32bit version of vlc with a GUI was previously run it 
will create the media library xml file if the entire preferences folder 
wasn't deleted before 64bits vlc (without any GUI) is run it will crash 
on start up when just after it probes the ML playlist file.
Also ffmpeg-mt also works nicely in 64-bits!

On debug build the file sizes are:
12397527 Aug 29 10:23 libvlc.dll
61840022 Aug 29 10:23 libvlccore.dll
61378491 Aug 29 10:25 plugins/libavcodec_plugin.dll
