The VideoLAN Forums

Just wondering if/when VLC will be optimized for 64-bit support (Win7).

Thanks.

There already builds for it, QT4 interface just doesn't work currently in 64 bit and that is why the 64 bit VLC isn't shared via download section.

Cool. I'll give that a try. (I don't use VLC for QT, so it's not a major concern for me).

Thanks!

===========================

Question: I checked that directory and all the EXE/ZIP files indicate 32-bit, with the latest file dated in January.

vlc-1.2.0-git-20110108-1420-win32.exe 08-Jan-2011 14:40 13M

(there was a vlc-1.2.0-qit-20110108-1420-win32.exe as well)

If they're 64-bit, why are they listed as 32-bit?

And there is a VLC 64-bit dedicated thread here:

Are you using this version of QT that's built for mingw-w64? http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt-mingw-w64 ... arball/4.7

I found specific directions on how to compile it at http://pinyotae.blogspot.com/2010/11/bu ... w-w64.html


Also, I was looking into compiling and found quite a few of the dependencies designed for MingW-w64
