What specifically do you want to get installed and do you want to do it from a binary source or a package source (rpm)
You can get the VLC RPM (redhat package management) source from the following location :
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrp...deolan-client/
Downloading it and clicking it should open the respective package management application and request your root password before installing
if you wish to do it by source let me know and I will talk you through compiling it
