    Hello, Jerome.
    I have written about this many times recently. But I don’t mind doing it once more 🙂
    AE CS4 is a 32-bit application that runs better on 64-bit systems.
    The main advantage of a 64-bit application is addressing more than 4 GB of RAM at a time.
    AE CS4 takes advantage of more than that amount, by launching a rendering instance for each processor/core in your machine. So, if you had a quad core machine, for example, it could use up to 16 GB of RAM (4 GB per rendering instance).
    But ultimately, yes, a 64-bit version of AE would allow longer RAM previews and better performance with with very large frame dimensions for Comps or source elements, if you had a ton of RAM to take advantage of. If you don’t have a ton of RAM, there isn’t any practical advantage to 64-bit computing.

    Try converting MPEG4 to other formats using Super Video Converter.
    I normally use for my Nokia mobile.
