Depending on the video files you'd like to decode 32bit can make a difference. Many of the stranger codecs are supported through the win32 codecs which are not 64bit safe or at least that's what I've read. I'd assume that qt, mp4, and wmv would generally be okay. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
