I edit videos of private functions. For better decoding time, i like to get more ram, from 4 to 8gb. I understand that the only way to do it is through 64 bit os. Now I want to be absolutely sure that what i edit and save, can be read in 32bit os. Is it possible?

basically what i am asking is if there is a way in which I can transfer files from 32 bit to 64 bit and vice versa.

Thanks.

As far as reading or writing files is concerned there is no difference between 32- and 64-bit OSs.

The only way you'll be able to take full advantage of the extra RAM is to ensure your editing suite is 64-bit also... otherwise your application is still limited to 2GB of address space. Of course, 2GB may be enough for your application anyway... but having a 64-bit OS means that you'll have that much more RAM free for anything else.

Zoron: I understand the ram limits as I mention it in earlier post. but thanks for answering.

P.S. : for coding and decoding video file, faster cpu and more and faster ram is always better. :)

Ijack: buddy you absolutely sure about reading and writing? This is what i will be doing. get a 32 bit file from xp. edit it in 64bit xp. save it in 64bit xp and then open it in 32bit xp.

so
32-->64-->32
