The Video which you downloaded was a scam video and is basically blank
apart from the message you saw. If you installed their media player or
whatever is on that webpage then you most likely have spyware on your
machine now after installing it. The message on the video is to trick you
into installing their software and it seems they have tricked you.

Also  vlc is downloadable for free from vlc's website. Yes technically you
can charge for it but it will be the same as the one of vlc's website or
if not they legally have to supply any changes they have made to it due to
the GPL licensing of it.


Thanks
