Debian Multimedia :: Lenny Compatible VLC 1.0.5 - 32 - 64 Bit And Sources

I had to build it with nls (locales) and the mozilla-plugin disabled, due to the Lenny libc6 causing problems.

Link (about 40 Mb): [url]

Big and Free link: (may disappear): [url]

64-bit debs only (about 9 MB): [url]

I have had reports of the aspect ratio being weird for ATI cards, as well as no full screen, but it works fine in the Virtual Box Lenny, as well as on my Intel graphics.

You will also need the lenny-backports repo, to get some missing or updated libraries. see backports.org

You would need to install the vlc-data deb first, then you can install the rest of the debs: (except for the -dbg version, unless you need it) dpkg -i *386.deb

If you have missing dependencies, you get an error=1, so get the missing dependencies with aptitude -f install or apt-get -f install. You may have to manually install the lenny-backports libraries if you have trouble. You actually don't need the -dev, dbg, and most of the other libraries, so you may want to look at what the vlc metapackage needs and install those.
