64-bit support for windows.

Postby gypsycomp » 15 May 2017 22:01

Has VLC stopped making a 64-bit version of Video LAN for the windows platform?
All I can find to use is the 32-bit version 2.2.5.1

It would make intuitive sense that, since most all PCs are 64-bit, you have the 64-bit version more predominate on the download site. When you go to the site you intuitively just click the download button and discover it is 32-bit, with no where showing a 64-bit version. Why not show the download for 64-bit to begin with? Because of this, I've been using 32-bit for several years, thinking VLC had stopped building a 64-bit version.
