It's available but not offered from the homepage, is it considered unstable/experimental?

For some reason the information seems to have vanished from the VLC Windows page so I believe x64 builds of VLC are still in experimental stage.

surely there's a definitive position from the project on this, where is it? If it does not exist then could someone from the project please state it.

If you mean VLC 2.2.2, there was a build, but there were conflicting statements as to whether it actually works.

There definitely is nightly Win64 builds process, just as with Win32.

Yes I am referring to x64 release builds, which you have been making for quite a while (https://download.videolan.org/pub/video ... 0.1/win64/). I haven't experienced any problems with the recent x64 releases (2.2.1, 2.2.2), do you have plans to make them the default?

Yeah, would be nice to get an answer, I mean, who uses 32 bit anymore.

You guys do know you can already get the 64-bit installer, no?

As Ludrax mentioned, you can select it from the orange drop down on the download page.

The question was not where to get the x64 version, but what its status is. This was the response:
...there were conflicting statements as to whether it actually works.
This is not what you'd say about a stable release, so evidently its still experimental, although you'd think 4 years is enough time to stabilize.

What Do You Mean?: What's the status of the x64 build?
