How to update VLC to the latest version?
As VLC 2.0 is released, how do I get it in Ubuntu (XUbuntu actually, in my case) 11.10? Any PPAs or packages to download? The official page says "Ask your favorite packager..."

I've just found the official VLC PPA.
Stable version snapshots
For the current stable version of VLC that is ppa:videolan/stable-daily
(currently version 2.0)
Add it to your system
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily
Update and upgrade / install VLC
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc
For the daily master snapshots
For the master daily (testing) that is ppa:videolan/master-daily
(currently version 2.1)
Add it to your system
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/master-daily
Update and upgrade / install VLC
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc
For more information about PPAs please visit the following post
- What are PPAs and how do I use them?
By the way I've already noticed a drawback after installing 2.1 from the PPA: it doesn't offer Mozilla VLC Plugin (and does remove one already installed). That's a pity, I used to make intense use of it.

There seems to be no repository meant for 10.04 in the PPAs, @sivakumar. stable-daily PPA supports 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) and 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), master-daily PPA supports 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) and 12.04 (Precise Pangolin). If you really want to update your VLC you can either wait until someone builds stable VLC 2.0 release packages or try using Maverick repo of the master-daily PPA or Oneiric repo of the stable-daily PPA (by editing apt configuration files manually), but I am not sure it is going to work properly.

Open terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T) and run:
As of today (2015/11/21), the latest VLC version
for 14.04 (vlc 2.2.1)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-*
for 14.04 & 15.04 & 15.10 (vlc 2.2.1)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-*
Will not work in 16.04, downvote for not being updated

In Ubuntu 14.04 and later VLC can be updated to the latest stable version by installing the vlc snap package. It notably plays MKV, MP4, MPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MOV, WMV, QuickTime, WebM, FLAC, MP3, Ogg/Vorbis files, BluRays, DVDs, VCDs, podcasts, and multimedia streams from various network sources. It supports subtitles, closed captions and is translated in numerous languages.
Open the terminal and type:
sudo snap install vlc
The vlc snap package will be updated automatically when updates are available.

The PPA mentioned in @Ivan's answer is unsupported. It last built correctly in 8/2016. There is no easy way to update vlc. However, this question address this problem with 17.04 and the best you can get is a newer version that doesn't support x.265 with snap.
See How do I install VLC 3.0 on Ubuntu Zesty 17.04? for more information.
