I checked the status of VLC (for my home machine) and you can build it yourself (it takes a lot of work, I did not try it myself. see: http://andcher.homeip.net/tiki-index.php?page=VlcBuild ). Another (easier) way is to search for the right repository - you can try Dag Wieers repository at: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/ . He has an RPM for VLC but some of libraries are mismatched (VLC requires older libraries). I'll wait for the next VLC RPM.
