what video editing programs are you using? I'm using ffmpeg, libquicktime, mjpegtools and transcode on amd64. the latest releases of these (well, ffmpeg cvs snapshot from 7 months ago, since they rarely make actual releases) all have very solid x86_64 support/acceleration. I am the port maintainer for these packages for OpenBSD. I am also the maintainer of the stable CVS line of transcode. maybe I can help answer some questions? -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
