VLC player 64bit not recognized

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When VLC player 64bit (experimental) is installed, SE does not recognize it. 
2. Options > Settings > Video player: VLC is greyed out.
3. Deinstalled VLC 64bit and installed 32bit, now everything works.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
VLC 64bit should be found.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SE 3.2.8 on Windows 7, 64bit 
VLC 2.0.1 (32 and 64 bit)

Please provide any additional information below.
Win7 64bit has these two directories:
"C:\Program Files\" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\"

VLC 32bit installs in "C:\Program Files (x86)\", whereas
64bit version installs in "C:\Program Files\". 
Maybe thats connected to the problem?

It's not a big problem, I just wanted to mention it..

ATM, Subtitle Edit is only available in a 32-bit version. But it should not be 
a problem to compile a 64-bit version...

(SE is a 32-bit program and cannot load a 64-bit VLC dll)

All right, the 32 bit solution is quite sufficient. It was just confusing as I 
had VLC (64bit) installed but that version was not recognized.
Thanks, Oski.

OK, it's also in the known issues now:

(SE will probably be out in 64-bit in a not too distant future)
