This is my first post and I wanted to make it so special that I chose my favorite multimedia player software itself to be the topic. VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVD, Audio CD, VCD, and various streaming protocols. It is completely Free, no Spyware, Ads or User Tracking

This wonderful piece of software is available for so many platforms including Linux, Mac and Windows. Unfortunately it doesn’t come pre-installed in Ubuntu 11.10. But it is very easy to install VLC in Ubuntu.  Let’s take a look at how to install VLC in Ubuntu 11.10.

Make sure that your computer is connected to internet and open Ubuntu Software Center and on the search box in the upper right hand corner, type vlc and you could see that VLC Player is listed in the results. Click install and wait for a few moments.

In a few moments, Ubuntu Software Center will pull the VLC package as well as all necessary dependencies from the internet and install them for you. Just in one click !

Now, you can open Dash ( press Super/Windows Key ) and type vlc to find and open VLC Player.

If you are a command line lover, you could use the below commands to install vlc.
