I can't find 64bit version of 1.0.3

I currently have 64bit of 1.0.2 are they stoping 64?

#1.1 Hannes.nz on 02 Nov 2009 - 17:39

Are you sure? I don't think there ever was a 64 bit version.

#1.2 Skyfrog on 02 Nov 2009 - 19:58

There isn't one. What on earth would the point be in having a 64-bit version?

#1.3 GP007 on 02 Nov 2009 - 21:20

I think a 64bit multithreaded decoder would be of quite some benefit.

#1.4 +Phantom Helix™ on 02 Nov 2009 - 22:44

Yea the 64bit version is for OS X

"•Fix video quality when resizing the video on Windows Vista and 7, due to regressions in most popular drivers"

uh problem is still there... *hits head* what in the world did nVidia do to their drivers that caused this problem in windows 7 x64.... no problems in x86

http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14938 ... 'The KMPlayer' (in that link) works much better than 'VLC PLayer' in general.

p.s. no 64-bit build but i don't think it will matter to much since KMPlayer can actually skip forwards and backwards properly (with the slider bar) when playing a video file unlike VLC Player.
