I have downloaded the VLC tar.bz2 file and I want to install it onto another Ubuntu machine. How I can install offline ?

You have to extaract that file then compile from source.
tar -jxvf filename.tar.bz2It will than create a folder in the same place you extracted it, once you in there you have to compile it
./configure
make
make install

Generally correct, except for a couple of things. One is that you need to install as root, or use sudo. Second, there are likely a lot of missing dependencies, so either you'll need to disable those features with options to configure, or you will need to install those packages as well (probably from source). If you configure those things out of VLC, then you are going to lose a lot of functionality.

I agree in both points @rubberman said. If I remember correctly, I spent one and a half days chasing dependencies before I could get yum to run properly(no --skip-broken).
So when ever I have one of those days I make lists. heres a list of what finally went in to get it to work.

When I have to do something like this, I take my smartphone (Google Nexus One) along with me, plug it in to the other machine (called tethering), Ubuntu recognizes it as a broadband modem and connects instantly to the internet, then I can install all this stuff from the repositories, including downloading and installing the dependencies automatically. If you don't have that, take it to a local WiFi hot spot and do the installation there.
