Are those the default repositories or something you added?

I'm not sure what could be going on....have you tried installing MPlayer instead?

Mplayer wouldn't play things in full screen for me.  I got weird green bars when I tried it.  If you know how to get around that I'd love to know.

Try this tutorial for installing VLC, it worked for me when I put in the new repository files:
