Hello,

Since there is no VLC64 dedicated section, I thought I'd make this topic.

VLC 64 is still experimental and not recommended to download, but I'd like to ask to those who are using it, how stable it is for them.

Thank you.

Been using it on all my computers for at least 6 months, can't tell any difference between it and the 32bit version.

Been using it on all my computers for at least 6 months, can't tell any difference between it and the 32bit version.

I can tell the difference when I transcode to x265 a live stream input in realtime and restream it. There's like 30% increase in needed processing power for the 32bit variant... ie I'm at 90% average with the 32bit variant when I'm at 60% average for the 64bit.
The nightlies are quite stable, I can transcode for several hours (3 to 5 hours) without isues. Sometimes I can even let the server transcoding the whole night and it's still working the next day, but it does crash at night most of the time... after long hours of complex transcoding. Some nightlies show a runtime error when closing.

It has crashes that the 32 version has not.
