Hello friends,

I have installed Ubuntu 8.04.

How can I install older version of VLC media player version (0.8.6) online.
Or I can install any version below 1.0.
I could not play one H.264 video file in 1.0.5
But this file has got played nicely in version 0.8.6.

Can you guide me through step by step.

Regards,
Vinod

The version of VLC in Hardy Heron's repositories is 0.8.6. All you have to do is run:

sudo apt-get install vlc

not quite sure what's with the other versions you mentioned.
