| My computer has a 64-bit CPU but I am running the 32-bit version of VirtualDub because some plugins I use, notably Deshaker, are available only in a 32-bit version. Other plugins are available in 64-bit versions -- notably so, the ones to input files in .MOV, .WAV, WMV, .FLV formats, etc. Instructions provided with these plugins say to create a plugins64 subfolder under the VirtualDub folder, and put the plugins there. I don't see any information though on whether these plugins are compatible with the 32-bit version of VirtualDub. Are they? If so, is there any advantage in using them when the computer has a 64-bit CPU? (Might be faster with the added bit depth...)? Also if so should I delete the corresponding 32-bit versions? And -- I already have two plugins folders -- "plugins" and "plugins32". Are different 32-bit plugins specific to these folders or may they be installed in either one? |

| "plugins" is just a legacy folder, just rename it to plugins32. 32-bit filters/plugins must go in the plugins32 folder while 64-bit filters/plugins must go in the plugins64 folder. 32-bit filters/plugins can be used only by 32-bit VirtualDub while 64-bit filters/plugins can be used only by 64-bit VirtualDub. You can have a 64-bit CPU but it doesn't matter at all if you have a 32-bit Windows. On a 64-bit Windows you can use both 32 and 64-bit VirtualDub. On a 32-bit Windows you can use only 32-bit VirtualDub. The list of input plugins is here: http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act=ST&f=7&t=19488 |
