1. you can't install tars. You can build VLC using them.
Untar .tar to folder, open this folder using command line, and write
after that you will get compiled and working vlc.
2. Or use Google and search for RPMs (something like .exe for Linux), download, double click and thats all

download the vlc plugin for linux for example in the rpm format and use the command:
rpm -ivh file.rpm
you may get dependency failures after executing the above command so try to install all the dependencies (it's hectic.........
).
i am also facing the issues regarding the dependencies
i have been trying to solve it i let you know once it is done.

If you use Debian, dependencies will be taken care of with automated tools. So, use it.
