LibVLC 0.9 is old and buggy.

I would use vlcj. You can follow the thread here: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=56939&start=160.
If you start with the TestPlayer, it should be straightforward enough. I use vlcj in eclipse (on Windows XP), and integration was issue free.
Also, as Remi indicated, use a VLC version higher than .9. vlcj requires 1.1.

Also, moderators, can the "JVLC status" thread be pinned just like the C# and Delphi counterparts? At 14k views, it's not unpopular...
