It is so easy to install VLC in Ubuntu. Just follow these steps.

With Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10 or/and higher.

Method 1: Graphical way
1. Open Synaptic application
2. Click on System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager.
3. In Settings -> Repositories, make sure you have an universe repository activated.
4. Search for vlc and install it. You should install vlc-plugin-pulse and mozilla-plugin-vlc as well.
5. If you are interested in streaming or transcoding, you should additionnally install libavcodec-extra-52 from a multiverse repository.

You need to check that a universe mirror is listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

% sudo apt-get update 
% sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc
