Good morning all guys, I'm a new Arch user and I am really liking this distro, but... I have a little problem: VLC doesn't start!
I installed it with pacman with no problems, but when I try to launch it, nothing appens.. What can i do? Thanks.

Launch it from a terminal and read the output.
Also, post the version you are using and your kernel version (uname -a).

And try installing projectm, see if anything changes. There's a weird issue where some people have to have it installed and others don't.
Edit: After your post, nevermind. It appears you missed the optional deps.

Mmm, how can i know all those deps?

Pacman told you about them when you installed vlc. You can use pacman -Qi <package> to get info about an installed package, including the optional deps.
