It is, but it defaults to a 32bits installer if you click on the big blue "Download VLC" button, and forces you to do five extra clicks browsing two extra pages to finally get a "64 bits installer" link. The result of this is that 99% of downloads will be of the 32 bits version. _______________________________________________ libav-devel mailing list libav-devel@libav.org https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-devel
