I tryed
yum -y install videolan-client

and it says "No Match for argument: videolan-client"
"Nothing to do"

Any ideas?

Thanks!,

Make sure to read the section about adding repos. By default, Fedora doesn't include any 3rd party repo. Once you add either the freshrpm, or dag repo, you'll be able to install vlc.

ugh...

you need the following:

libdvdcss
libdvdread

the following wouldn't hurt:

libdvdplay
libdvdnav

do a google search for these in RPM form. then you can just
do [abc@123]# rpm -ivh *.rpm

... in whatever directory you dump them all.

after that, make sure xine is installed.

yum install xine-ui

VLC is allright, but you'll find that having the libraries necessary to play a dvd regardless of your 'playing-program' will prove adventageous (especially when it comes time to 'backup' your dvd's).
