And there is a reason for that: you can not.

Either convert the vids to flash video, and use an flv player embedded in your page, or convert them to a format understood by every other players available. Like mpg, or divx.

Ho, if it's just for you then, it's something else.
Did you read the VLC manual?
Because it's explained there:
http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html

First, the vlc plugin is available for firefox/mozilla and safari only.
To install it, as the documentation state:

Quote:

Windows
1)Quit Firefox or Mozilla
2)Copy the two files in VLC_Installation_folder\mozilla (usually C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\mozilla) to your mozilla plugins directory (Usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla\plugins or C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins).
3)Restart Firefox or Mozilla

And then, you can check if the plugin is really active via the url about:plugins

Next, you can find examples of embedding videos for VLC in this page:
http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html

HTML Code:

<html>
<head><title>Demo of VLC mozilla plugin</title></head>

<body>

<h1>Demo of VLC mozilla plugin - Example 1</h1>

<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin"
         name="video1"
         autoplay="no" loop="yes" width="400" height="300"
         target="http://server.example.org/video1.vob" />
<br />
  <a href="javascript:;" onclick='document.video1.play()'>Play video1</a>
  <a href="javascript:;" onclick='document.video1.pause()'>Pause video1</a>
  <a href="javascript:;" onclick='document.video1.stop()'>Stop video1</a>
  <a href="javascript:;" onclick='document.video1.fullscreen()'>Fullscreen</a>
