In most cases, you are better off using 64 bit. Many distributions are
cutting down on support for 32 bit. Generally, if compiling (and that
would include using ffmpeg to re-encode, you will usually find that 64 bit
can do it faster

is an older article about Ubuntu 13.04, but it gives some performance
