Going back to the Numbers frodo released - do they actually mean anything then?

Offcourse they do!

And i'm sure i'm getting smacked in the face by the other mp-ii devs when i say this,
but this intelligent zoom thing??
lets say that when mp-ii gets released then you will have 1 reason less to switch to microsoft windows mediacenter

I can play almost anything just fine in x64 except offcourse the AC3 audio. This is because of the fact the Vista x64 needs an x64 application to be able to Passthrough AC3.

That seems pretty common issue with x64 Vista. Have you tried using AC3Filter already for audio codec?

Yep, but AC3Filter is x86-only and therefore can only be used in 32-bit apps. So no sound via AC3.
ffdshow, vista codecpack, nero audio decoder, nvidia audio decoder and cyberlink powerdvd audio decoder 6 and 7 all the same. But if I use a 64-bit app (MPC Home Cinema x64 (or something alike) WMP x64 and Media Center x64 all that have an x64-version work perfect with AC3.

So my conclusion is: AC3 in x64 is only possible with an x64 app.

YES! YES! YES!

Finally, I could stop using VMC for watching TV and MP for all the other stuff.
A huge Thanks

And for the numbers, I still think my guess:

From MP 0.2.3 t(w)o MP2 0.1 in 60 days.

is right ..

After spending, 6 months fighting with exchange 2007 at work I have come to the conclusion that 64-bit applications are pointless right now, wait 5 years or something then request 64-bit ports

thats not fully true.

i love my x64 versions of Newtek Lightwave and Maya here @ work. ther you realy see the benefit when doing extremely complex calculations or work with an insane amount of polygons.

video editing and compositing with 64bit is also way more fun.

but for the "average enduser" the only reason to use a x64bit system would be high-end PC games / Level-Editors which are optimized for 64bit (i.e. the Crysis Sandbox2 editor).

other then that, i see no point in using a x64 system as long as you are not forced to have more then 4GB RAM installed, or have optimized software.


an other "downside" of the x64 Windows system is (as war as i can remember) that Microsoft only allows certified drivers to be installed.
which costs an hardware manufacturer a lot of money, which is not that "great" for small start-up companies.

64bit applications will become mainstream sooner than that.
Microsoft already made the mistake with Vista not releasing it only 64bit. But the next Windows Version both Server and Desktop OSes will be only 64bit and that is confirmed by Microsoft.

So when Microsoft stop supporting 32bit in the upcoming Windows Version then all 3party providers inlucding software and drivers will start developing true 64bit applications. Well software can still run as a 32bit app under 64bit but not drivers which is the most important thing.

I belive the next MS Os release will be much sooner than 5years.

would be nice to see some more proposals in the MyTV redesign forums

Well you asked for it...
