Hi.

The main problem about using 64bit version of linux is that some
proprietary stuff like flash plugins need some extra work to be put to
work. In the case of MythTV, I think there will be no problem tough I
don't think you will have much to gain, perhaps over the transcoding
processes but I'm not sure.
