Earlier versions have known security issues.
You should not install them.
If you have regressions earlier version worked better for you you should report bugs instead:

Hi to all
I wish to install an earlier version of VLC Media Player (version earlier to 1.1.0 to be precise)in Ubuntu 10.10. How do I go about it? All installation guides install the latest version!
Why? For some reason I find that versions 1.1.0 onwards, both in Windows and Linux, File Conversion does not work ![]()
