++ VLC portal 11-23-13
VLC used to stand for "VideoLAN Client" when VLC was a client of the VideoLAN project. But since VLC is no longer merely a client, that initialism no longer applies

Installing
-I couldn't get VLC 2.1.1 to install
--This page had an alternate working file to download

-going to specific location in the video (jump to a specific time)

 {
 tools->preferences
     in Interface tab scroll down to playlist and instances
    untick checkbox Allow only one instance
    untick checkbox use only one instance when started from file manager
    Press Save.

This allows users to use more than one VLC player at a time.Once you've done the above you should be able to play as many VLC instances and video or audio files as you like.
