vlc 9x in ubuntu hardy

[nakama85]

Hey Guys
The boys at ubuntuforum are no help for this. I was hoping someone here could.

Hardy only has 8x in the repos. But since it is no longer supported I am trying to get 9x. However I have no idea how to do this.
I am a newb and I do not know how to compile from source.

Does anyone know how I can get it. Are there any repos I can download it from?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

just add to your repos:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ubuntu hardy main

OK, I am also a newbie to Ubuntu and linux in general, so how do I add that site to my list of repositories in 8.04 Hardy Heron, please? Thanks.

Maybe I need to provide a little more info: due to "highly critical" vulnerabilities in VLC media player (which I prefer to the other ones) versions 0.5 through 0.9.5, I want to get the latest patched version 0.9.6 of VLC instead of the dangerously susceptible VLC 0.8.6 which is available through Ubuntu 8.04 core repositories (and which is apparently not being updated, patched or otherwise fixed through the normal methods). So far, the only way I seem to have located is to add the above site in addition to all the core repositories which I already have checked off in Synaptic ( and rechecked, reloaded, etc., etc.). If I can add this site through Synaptic, please provide further info on how to do so, since I have already tried everything I can see there to add anything to it; otherwise, please point me in whichever other direction I would have to go to add the above-named site (graphically if at all possible instead of command line, as I still have not found out how or where to use a command line in Hardy Heron). Maybe I should also say that while I am a linux/Ubuntu newbie, I have many years of PC experience with DOS and Windows (most versions thru 32-bit XP), plus a few other operating systems that have long since gone to that great repository in the sky, if you know what I mean (remember TRaSh-80?), so I can do commands if given enough info.

Thank you very much, rubioxtu, I'm sure I'll be trying it out later today as soon as I study the info. Happy Thanksgiving.
