"There used to be developers and packagers doing VLC for Windows as part of, or in connection with their day job. Unfortunately, they both quit the project several years ago.
The VideoLAN project still supports Windows thanks to the efforts of several volunteers, but the situation is less than ideal.
Currently, there is simply no time to dedicate on VLC 1.0.6 for Windows, in addition to the upcoming VLC version 1.1.0. Security-concious users can install VLC prerelease version 1.1.0-pre3 which is quite stable and addresses the recently published security vulnerabilities.
It is understood this is inconvenient. But you need to keep in mind that VLC is an almost exclusively volunteer effort, and there are no warranties. The VideoLAN project would welcome any help in this area, and in many others as well: browser plugins, documentation, core, etc. "
