Taking a look at http://packages.ubunut.com/lucid/graphics/vlc it  
indicates the version there is 1.0.4.

However when I install from Lucid Universe, I am seeing that it is  
version 1.0.3.

I am using the following apt spurces:

      deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted
      deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted

      deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main  
restricted
      deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main  
restricted

      deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid universe
      deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid universe
      deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-updates universe
      deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-updates universe
      deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
      deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe

(Trying to install vlc-nox from Universe without restricted results in  
unmet dependencies, of coursse)

Also, dpkg -l | grep vlc indicates:

My main question then is why vlc is being listed as 1.0.3, and not  
1.0.4.  I am also trying to confirm whether the version in the repo is  
compiled with/without dv support. It seems to be lacking it, but that  
puzzles me, as it's very commonly used. The versions of Kino & dvgrab  
in Lucid support dv *o.o.b.*

Any insight into this would be appreciated.

cheers,
