VLC 2.0 "Twoflower" has been released with faster decoding, support for more video formats, a reworked web interface, experimental BluRay Discs support and more.

VLC 2.0 highlights:

• Major Video Core and Outputs rework and rewrite
• Almost every video filter can now be transcoded
• Experimental Blu-Ray Discs support using libbluray
• Support for VDR recordings folders
• HTTP Live Streaming playback support
• PulseAudio audio input support
• One can now use ffmpeg-mt in conjunction with vlc, to split decoding load on multiple cores. H.264, VP3, VP8, JPEG-2000, Mpeg-4 ASP/DivX and RV3/RV4 are notably concerned.
• Experimental Hardware decoding using Broadcom CrystalHD cards
• New module for decoding EBU subtitles (.stl)
• Support for Lagarith Lossless video codec
• Support for images/cover art in wma/wmv/asf files
• Improvements in .ape files metadata reading and writing
• Major improvements in Matroska (mkv) chapters/segments handling and seeking
• Multiple Qt interface and Skins2 improvements
• Rewrite of the web interface, using jQuery
• Support for Vorbis and Theora in RTP

Complete list of changes, HERE.

The VLC 2.0 changelog also mentions MPRIS v2 support, however VLC didn't show up in the Ubuntu Sound Menu in my test.

Install VLC 2.0 in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot

The latest stable VLC 2.0 can be installed in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot using the commands below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc

VLC 2.0 is already available in the Ubuntu 12.04 repositories, so if you're using Precise, install VLC via Synaptic / Software Center.

Unfortunately, there's no stable VLC PPA for older Ubuntu versions.
