I wanted to try the new x265 codec, but when I proceeded to the VLC website to get it, I got this weird box error on my browser right after I clicked on "download":

550 /pub/x265/snapshots/last.tar.bz2: No such file or directory

I googled this error but the results are ambiguous and inconclusive, not one provided a clear solution. I have Windows 7 64bits (the original that came with the PC) and my browser is Firefox.

Has anyone else encountered this error?

Seems like either the server is down or the file is not there. What do you want to try? Encoding or playing hevc streams?

You can try cloning from the repo.

I wanted to try some encoding of mainly large motorsport videos I record and the videos from my Canon 60D (the files it generates are huge). HEVC videos I can play with VLC player nicely.

I don't understand what "You can try cloning from the repo" means.

Usually "cloning" means making a local copy of the current source code tree from a "git" or similar repository and compiling it yourself. I've only ever compiled from source on Linux where the necessary tools are as easy to install as any other package. I don't know whether that's as true on the Windows platform.

It means to get the source code and build it yourself. I just tried on my enthusiast PC and I can get the source but I'm running Ubuntu on that and can't cross-build it for you (too lazy to install cross tools and revise cross-building matters).

If you don't know what it means then don't bother. You should write an email to VLC and tell them the download link doesn't work.
