Let me be clear, VLC for Android has NOT yet been officially released. VLC for Android is an open source project and is licensed under GPLv2 License (like all other VLC projects). This means, you can build VLC from source and use it the way you want. And that's exactly what XDA Forum member adridu59 did. Unofficial build of VLC for Android.

VLSub is a VLC extensions to search and download subtitles from opensubtitles.org. The extension can search either based on the video hash or its IMDB title.
The extension can download subtitles in about 49 languages, including English, Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and more.
The extension should work with VLC 1.1.0+ (I've tested it with 1.1.x and 2.0) on Linux, Windows or Mac OSX.
Installation:
1. Download VLSub from HERE.
2. Create the ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions folder (in case it doesn't exist):
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions3. Move the downloaded .lua file to the ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions folder (".local" is a hidden folder in your home directory so press CTRL + H to see it).
If you're using Windows, copy the .lua file under C:/Program Files/VideoLAN/VLC/lua/extensions/
Now restart VLC and you should see VLSub under the VLC View menu:

VLC 2.0, codenamed "Twoflower", comes with a rewritten video output core and modules, allowing subpicture blending in GPU. VLC 2.0 can be downloaded and installed from official Videolan stable daily PPA. Here is how you install VLC 2.0 in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot.

Lorenzo @ Atareao.es has created an Unity video lens and a YouTube scope for it, which lets you easily search and even play YouTube videos in either an external player (and thus, without using Adobe Flash) or your web browser.
The latest YouTube scope for Unity Video Lens comes with a tool which lets you select the external player you want to use for playing YouTube videos and it currently supports yviewer, VLC, Minitube (you'll need the latest 1.7 version) or your default web browser.

Here is something you might already know, but I for one didn't notice it until today (thanks to Georgi and Rolandixor!): Skype, VLC and other Qt applications have an indicator in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot thanks to a package called "sni-qt" that converts (automatically) Qt systray icons into indicators.
(Both Skype and VLC icons are indicators - notice the border on the Skype icon, that's indicator-specific)
The converted Qt indicators look and behave the same as regular Ubuntu indicators. All we need now is monochrome icons (I'm not sure if that's possible for Skype).
The systray is still available for Wine, Java, scp-dbus-service and Update-notifier only but you can whitelist all applications just like in Ubuntu 11.04 - and that bug that caused the non-clickable indicators issue seems to have been fixed.

I'm sure many of you know about GetDeb but maybe some of our new readers don't. GetDeb is a very popular (for example, in July 2010, there were about 25144 unique Ubuntu Lucid users per day installing packages via) software portal that comes with an Ubuntu repository which you can use to install applications that are not available in the official Ubuntu repositories - this includes updated versions for various applications.
Until now I didn't really needed to use GetDeb in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, but the Pidgin PPA hasn't been updated yet with the latest Pidgin 2.8.0 (released about 3 days ago) so I though I'd check GetDeb - and indeed, GetDeb provides the latest Pidgin 2.8.0 (for Ubuntu Natty and Lucid - no Maverick it seems) as well as VLC 1.1.10 (for Natty only).
