Does VLC work in Ubuntu?

Being the total newbie I am, I have trouble finding a good video and music player for my Ubuntu-system. Then again I have tried VLC on Windows and I liked it a lot. So I was wondering whether it would also work on Ubuntu, with it being Debian-based and all.

Thanks for reading and even more thanks to those who reply.

I tried the ubuntu live cd and in their package system was vlc available.
I installed it through their system (only 0.8.2, I think) and it worked well. I don't know with which options it's compiled for ubuntu, but playback of divx/mp3 video files worked, I tried nothing else.

Any quick suggestions/docs how to compile in Brezzy? Been trying different ways for a few days w/no avail. Just want VLC so I can use these modules http://tivo-vlc.sourceforge.net/

TIA
