I would not suggest to use php to process videos but to spawn the processing to 3rd party servers using better tools. As for images, for web images, x64 provides little gains except for very few cases. > Lester gave us a link to unofficial x64 PHP, so compilation is possible. > Maybe it is a time to start publishing x64 alpha versions of PHP, collect > bugs information and so on. Not until libs have better support. We did that in the past and users automatically used them instead of using the stable x86 builds. It caused more work for no gain as we do not have the resources now to fix all libs. However, that does not mean we are not working on that but it is not in the 5.4 roadmap.
