This is due to how we are packaging FFmpeg in our PPA. We are working to fix this, but if you install via the PPA, you will not be able to run VLC at this time." http://www.openshotvideo.com/2008/04/ppa-instructions.html Presumably you can't get Openshot anywhere else, unlike Open Movie Editor, which is in the repos (but doesn't work for me, alas: no sound).
