Default .mp4 metadata editor?

Interesting addendum to all that: As I understand it,
Intel never had any intention of making 32/64 possible.
They were planning to make 64-bit CPUs and all machines/
software would just have to transition. They were forced
to do the right thing when AMD started making 64-bit CPUs
with backward support for 32-bit. The result was a nearly
invisible transition to 64-bit.

Since Microsoft depends on business customers with a lot
of "legacy bespoke" software, like database programs
made in-house, MS needs to support Win32, and they've
done a nice job of it. It's seamless. And the runtimes for
C++6 and VB6 -- over 20 years old -- are still pre-installed
system files. So 32-bit VC6 and VB6 software can run on
virtually any existing Windows box without needing any
support files installed. There's virtually nothing else that
can make that claim, though .Net v2 would come close.
But the runtime for that is not natively on XP.

I was recently exploring Linux. I'm not clear about whether
Linux has similar dual support. L64 seems to be able to run
both WINE32 and WINE64, so I guess it works. But none
of it worked very well, and WINE32 on L32 seemed to work
best, so I'm guessing that maybe 64-bit support in Linux
is still under construction... Then again, Linux is still under
construction....

That's called multilib.

You can enable that during installation. It's possible
for example, to run "pure" environments, without multilib.

"multilib, a centralized repository for x86-64 users to more
readily support 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment"

It likely means there is more than one lib folder somewhere.
And a scheme to load the right lib.

Maybe running

ldd programname

for some sample pure 32 bit and regular 64 bit
applications, would display the nomenclature of a
multilib library as it is loaded.

Example of someone doing a failed experiment.

*******

The **** hits the fan when you're in WINE. That would be
the "heights of library management". If there's anywhere
in Linux to get this stuff wrong, it's within a mixed
WINE supporting setup (you're mixing bitness at two
levels). I've had busted WINE (by installing
the wrong thing) and not been able to figure out what
is breaking it. If your objective is to "learn something",
studying WINE will likely rap your knuckles a number of
times. If I need WINE for something, I'm pretty careful now,
to not be too aggressive in the package manager, and
"order one of each" like I'd won a grocery shopping spree.

WINE has *a lot* of moving parts. As you learn more about
it, you'll be shocked at the amount of stuff that can be
downloaded in support.
