Needing help please for VideoLan downloads on W10

[motdaugrnds]

I have a "refurbished Microsoft windows 10" desktop computer. It replaced my old XP when that hard drive started going bad. Now I'm attempting to understand the "how tos" for windows 10.

One quandary I've not solved is about downloading. I have "videoLAN" already on this computer; yet have not been able to use it to download anything. I'm wanting to download some YouTube videos as well as some "classics" (TV series as well as movies). It is difficult for me to understand because I'm a "visual" learner; so please be patient with me.

Do I need to ignore having this "videoLAN" (with all its components) and download something like the "suite" of programs such as: RealPlayer, RealDownloader & RealConverter?
