I can't seem to find the 64bit build of the 3.0.0 release on the web nor on the FTP. Is there not one? Further, are there any advantages of using the 64bit versions over the 32bit? Any disadvantages? [edit - just saw this in the changelog: * 64bit version of VLC for Windows is recommended. And there is another post in this thread about it which I did not see, apologies, it looks like they will be arriving in a little while.]



Just came back to make this comment after failing to find a link. If anyone can advise...

Edit: see comments below. They had a build problem and 64bit windows is a few hours behind: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16340935


Actually, VLC Updater is currently downloading the 64bit windows version for me. Download started 20 minutes ago.


Where's VLC Updater?

Help -> "Check for Updates" tells me I'm on the latest version even though I've only got 2.2.6 on Win10 (- and I still can't find the x64 build on their page!)


Here you go: ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/vlc/3.0.0/win64/
