You are trying to use the vlc build from the videolan master ppa https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/master-daily
The ppa depends on other ppa's to produce the trusty builds & that makes it basically worthless for trusty users.
(- not to mention it has stopped building, at least for now.

Specifically it's using a ppa that has libav10 (ie. libavcodec55, ect.), that's why you can't install as by default trusty uses libav9, (libavcodec54, ect). So as far as 14.04 the ppa is a joke, get rid of it..
(- you could add the ppa(s) it deps on though no assurance it won't cause you issues so I won't provide links.
