VLC is just a replacement media player. Nothing special except it does have it's own codecs that enable it to play media that other media players will not.
Can you use it to watch movies? Yes, normal and HD, but probably not Blu-ray.
Why do you want to use Windows' Movie Maker to watch movies? It edits movies like those movies you record with your digital movie camera.
How to use VLC with your laptop? Just play them.
How to use VLC with a wireless router? If the laptop is connected to the internet via the laptop, then you watch movies via your internet browser.
I don't have an HDTV so I can't answer that one, sorry.

Hi out there!
I noticed that my laptop came with something called VLC, it looks like is for playing media.
I really don't understand their instructions.
Can I use this to watch my movies in my laptop?
Also, how can I use win movie maker ( Win 7 ) to watch movies in my laptop?
How can I do this with my laptop, wireless router, and HDTV?
Thanks everyone!
