[DDE_Server]

Hi everybody
today i download VLC player from official website for 64 bit to install in my laptop
before installing i checked the digital signature and that is ok
but when i compared the hash it was different (both has files SHA1/SHA256) which i downloaded from the official website

Index of /vlc/last/win64/

download.videolan.org

the result for hash for each type is different when i used Hash my files as in the screen shot:

is there something wrong in my analysis or the installer is modified ??

You need to download the .sha1 or .sha256 file and add a .txt extension to it so you can open it as a text file. That will give you the actual hash for the VLC .exe. (I don't know if there's an easier way to do it with the .sha files.)

But I was importing this files with another programs in hash my files and had the same hash

You're checking the hash of the hash file instead. That's why it's different. What South Park said is correct. Just open the hash file in Notpad and you'll see the hash is written there inside and they're the same.
