[Ubuntu] VLC has released the 0.9.2 version but in Ubuntu repository the version is still 0.8.x. If you are not afraid of trying non-Ubuntu repository (does not contain signed key) you can update your VLC to its latest release 0.9.2. And if you take my word, its worth it. The 0.9.2 version underdevelopment for last 2 years has got major fixes and new features.
