The new major version of vlc player has been released.It a new qt4 interface full screen controls, better playlists options,new video format support,many video and audio improvements andalbum art support.So upgrade is highly recommended.
The latest vlc nor gimp in not available in ubuntu repository so u will have to add a software source in the repository.You cannot visit the vlc site and download vlc from that site as in windows you have to do the below steps:

Press Add & paste in this repository:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ubuntu intrepid main
Close Software Sources & Click reload the repositories.

You’ve made a mistake, the repository line you’ve given is the wrong one. t should be this:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ubuntu intrepid main
Also, Hardy Heron users can use this repository:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ubuntu intrepid main
Thank you for the information though.
