How do I get the 64-bit VLC version?

At a minimum, I need the 64-bit version of libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll.

Background:
I have a 64-bit version of Windows and VLC installed, the 32-bit version. That installs to "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC", the default directory. The player works fine as a standalone application.

I am trying to integrate VLC into my Java SWT application using VLCJ. The Java application uses the 64-bit version of Java. I saw the runtime error message, "Finally, it is not possible to mix CPU architectures - it is not possible for a 64-bit Java Virtual Machine to load 32-bit native libraries." That is obviously the problem. Yes, I set for debugging purposes:

NativeLibrary.addSearchPath("libvlc", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\VideoLAN\\VLC");

at the beginning of the application, but obviously that does not work, as I have a 64-bit OS and application talking to the 32-bit VLC player. I did a Google search and do see that others are able to find and use a 64-bit version of VLC.

Where do I get the 64-bit version of VLC?

However, keep in mind that 64-bit versions are still experimental.

Thanks, works
1. Great as a stand alone player
2. VLCJ recognized and is able to use the player with no issues
3. Works awesome on Windows 10 x64

I've been using them for years now and I find them no less stable than the 32bit versions.

Actually a bug update reported by VLCJ on 64-bit VLC. Please notice the 3 errors at the bottom. I copy and pasted from the Java console. The video plays perfectly, just the 3 errors.
