Open the Terminal, type "uname -m". If the result says "x86_64", then it is 64 bit. If it says "i686", then it is 32-bit.

Which one is better vlc 32bit or 64bit for windows 8?

The answer is either is fine. What determines which you should use is the version of Windows 8 that you have installed on your computer. To determine this, go to the Control Panel and double-click on System. On the page that appears, it will tell you whether you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the operating system. At that point, install the version of VLC that is the same as your copy of Windows 8.

What is word length on host machine?

You're talking about words which mean two bytes (16 bits), right? Common computers nowadays are 32bit-based architecture, or what's the same: 2 words. That means a computer with a 1GHz clock timing will do up to 1 million operations per second. But newer computers are 64bit-based (I think that's where your question comes from) so at first you think: the double... now what? Well, operations are defined in 32 bits, thus in the same time, your 32bit computer does ONE operation, the other 64bit computer finishes TWO. With the same clock timing (1GHz) your new computer does 2 million operations. Cool, huh? If you, at the same time, give the computer more RAM memory and newer hard disk, your machine will go amazingly fast! Hope you understand my reply (sometimes I get a bit technical). Tell me if I can help you somehow.
