I would like to prepare Ubuntu bootable ISO image so I can boot it from USB pendrive. I want to the image to contain also some additional software, e.g., VLC for playing movies.

Can I prepare such updated image using VirtualBox hosted on Windows? How?

I would like to avoid installing the image on real hardware, hence the idea of using VirtualBox. I've read converting VDI file to ISO will not result in a image that I can boot from CD/USB.

Follow the offical Ubuntu LiveCDCustomization (or InstallCDCustomization) guide within an Ubuntu VM. You can also use the 3rd party customizer tool.

(The full instructions for the LiveCDCustomization are rather long, so I'm just posting the section headers here as a general overview.)

  1. Install pre-requisities
  2. Obtain the base system
  3. Extract the CD .iso contents
  4. Extract the Desktop system
  5. Prepare and chroot
  6. Customizations
  7. Cleanup
  8. Producing the CD image
