      There are two easy ways:
      1) Press Alt+F2 then type vlc and press enter.
      2) Applications Menu (little mouse's head in the top left corner of the desktop) > Multimedia > VLC Media Player

      If you set VLC as your default video player (see this) just click on a video file and it'll open in VLC.
