How do you solve this problem?

Could you explain to me what you mean by a "64-bit codec for raw images"?
I'm not familiar with any cameras that produce 64-bit data. At best, they
might use 16bits per channel.

the raw converter software is 64 bit.

That's hardly what I'd call a 'codec' - it's an application - and why
would it matter?

depends on the raw converter. camera raw is a plug-in, like a codec,
although it's not technically a codec. other raw converters are
self-contained applications, like nikon's software. if it's all 64 bit,
the raw processing is generally faster.

But there is no such thing as a "raw image". There are
"RAW" files, which contain sensor data from which images
can be produced. That requires a "raw converter", not a
codec. UFRAW is a good example, and can be compiled on
either a 32 bit or a 64 bit system. It's not a "codec".

stupid semantic games. if someone says 'raw image' it's quite clear
what they mean, even if the choice of words do not meet with your
approval.

which contain sensor data from which images
can be produced.

yes it does, and calling it a raw image is acceptable because the
meaning is obvious.

That requires a "raw converter", not a
codec.

more stupid semantics. again, it's obvious what he meant (how else
would you know to substitute raw converter?), and a raw converter can
be a codec (or if you want to nitpick which i'm sure you do, a 'dec'
since there really isn't a 'co'). adobe camera raw is a good example of
that.

UFRAW is a good example, and can be compiled on
either a 32 bit or a 64 bit system.

yes it can.

It's not a "codec".

no it isn't but others could be, so maybe it's not such a good example
after all.

I've been trying to come up with some sensible humor over that hot
dogger, but you've summed it up pretty well.

He means a RAW codec that runs on one of the Windows 64-bit operating systems.
For reasons never fully explained, the 32-bit RAW codec won't run on those
operating systems, which are therefore incapable of displaying thumbnails. A
minor problem overall.
