the simple way is , open software center and in the search box type VLC . there you can find the player and and you can install it by clicking at install . But you need Internet connection to do that ,i hope you have it .

one more way is doing with synaptic , open it and type as VLC is in the search box as you did for software center method .among the search results select VLC and its automatically select the required dependencies and will install for you .

these are the simple ways.

Maybe you could explain what advantages the version from this PPA has over the one from the official repositories. – Florian Diesch Aug 28 '12 at 1:30
