    VLC 2.0 "Twoflower" is a major new version of our popular media player.
    With faster decoding on multi-core, GPU, and mobile hardware and the ability to open more formats, notably professional, HD and 10bits codecs, 2.0 is a major upgrade for VLC.

    Twoflower has a new rendering pipeline for video, with higher quality subtitles, and new video filters to enhance your videos.

    It supports many new devices and BluRay Discs (experimental).

    Completely reworked Mac and Web interfaces and improvements in the other interfaces make VLC easier than ever to use.

    Twoflower fixes several hundreds of bugs, in more than 7000 commits from 160 volunteers.

      Good news, VLC and Media Player Classic Home Cinema are the best
      I hope to see 64-bit version of VLC in the near future

      Add this to your sources.
      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc2
      sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc

      Doesn't work, I had already attempted that one.
      It continues reporting 1.1.6 as the latest available version.

      I'll switch when they let me pause by left-clicking anywhere at the screen. I'm demanding like that...

      If I remember right, the way I got vlc2 to install was by following this:
      http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
      The steps about the universe repo in sources.list, find universe in that file and uncomment the line.
      But I'm on 11.10, not 10.04.

      I could be wrong though, I tried a lot of things before finally getting it to install.
