hi there,

here is the download link:

Thanks
. First find a machine with ubuntu installed and with INTERNET connection.Then use following command.

%sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc -download-only

All files downloaded after above command are found at /var/cache/apt/archives/
Copy these files into a single folder and install them using command'

%dpkg -i *.deb (pwd must be that folder where you copied the files)

(Suggestion : Please remove/move all files in /var/cache/apt/archives before downloading the new files)

Also VLC is available for other distros also.
there is good post in ubuntu forums for the whole tar package.

here is the link for the forum....
