Full on 64bit Version

**armstrn2** · 05-04-2011, 03:38 AM

Since almost all new OS's are 64bit shouldn't we have a 64bit version of the software, Mezzmo runs fine as a 32bit app within Windows 2008r2 - but that fact that it is running in emulation mode means it's less efficient than it could be.

So is there anyone else out there that would like a proper x64 version ?

We'll consider this for a future version. Basically the most CPU intensive processes are scanning files and transcoding and these would benefit from native 64-bit the most, I believe. With transcoding - it's possible to compile a 64-bit of FFmpeg and use that instead of the stock one.

Is it really just a consideration, rather than a focal point of development and planned move?

We have several important features for Mezzmo that are higher priority. After all these are completed, then a 64-bit version will be considered.

Do you have any kind of roadmap you could publicise? I realise its often hard to have something like that, but vague and obviously non-binding information?

As far as major features go, first it'll be pre-transcoding and then burn-in subtitles along with being able to choose which video/audio/subtitle tracks to play on your device. That's pretty much as precise as we can be

my personal opinion is :
1. video/audio/subtitle
2. burn-in subtitles
3. pre-transcoding

but thats because from what i can see samsung have by far the best support when it comes to file types.

I gave this a try and can verify this does work and gave me a 10% performance boost transcoding videos. All I had to do was get the latest ffmpeg Windows executable here:
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

Download the latest version under "64-bit Builds (Static)". Extract the ffmpeg.exe file in the archive and overwrite the C:\Program Files (x86)\Conceiva\Mezzmo\ffmpeg.exe with this file.

This probably isn't supported by Conceiva but so far I haven't had any issues.
