64 bit version?

Postby pisomojado » 05 Dec 2016 19:45

I'm having trouble playing 4k video with the h.265 codec. Stuttery playback, grey pixellation. I was told to try the 64 bit version of VLC, but I don't see it on the downloads page. Is there really a 64-bit version? Was I given bad advice?

I can playback using MPC-HC (64 bit) no problem, but I much prefer VLC.

fyi my cpu is Intel Core I3-4340 3.6 GHz LGA1150 Processor

Try the most recent v3.0.0 build from there:

Thanks! That's a big improvement. Not perfect. A little stuttery and the video falls apart with fast playback, but at least it kind of plays. All praise be to the coders.

I had the same problem. I had a hard time finding the 64 bits version :(

In fact it's indeed hard to find, just for a question of poor ergonomics of the page.
Once you are on the Download page and you see the big orange [Download VLC] button, click on the small arrow on the right of the button and a list of alternative options will be displayed. Select "Installer for 64bit version" :wink:
