For OS X save yourself all the trouble in the world by using the OS X media frameworks and QuickTime. 

To create a 32-bit OS plugin based on LibVLC just to covert it to 64-bit is asking for trouble and weeks of headaches when you already have everything your need both for 32 and 64 bit QuickTime available and virtually just need to set a flag in the compiler. 

If you are ever to be serious developing on OS X or iOS, snap out of it and start to use what is available, supported and tested through and trough. The time you free up can be used for the rest of your projects! ;-)

The QuickTime C APIs can’t be used directly for 64-bit applications…. See Apple’s 64-Bit Guide for Carbon Developers.
