dvd and vlc and apt-get

[Micah Buckley-Farlee]

You obviously didn't read the guide very well. It is actually a very 
useful resource that you should read. Tell us what exactly you've tried 
to get vlc to work, and what errors you get.
Then we will be able to figure out what's wrong and how to fix it.
