I would uninstall faad2, then install a sub 2.5 version, then install VLC. You might have to uninstall FFmpeg also because it uses faad2.

Just a thought. Would VLC from FreshRPMs work?

Thank you.

I encountered this problem as well, and I solved it by removing FAAD and installing an earlier version from the livna repo, like this:

Thank you.

How to upgrade FC8 TO FC9

Basically all you need to do is to enable the development repo. That file is /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo. Open it with a text editor and change the line that reads enabled=0 to read enabled=1. Run yum update. There will be hundreds of updates and it will take quite a while to complete. Once done, reboot and you're running rawhide, since Fedora 9 is not final yet.

Fedora STRONGLY advises against upgrading versions via yum. If you get part way through an upgrade and ANYTHING goes wrong you will be left with a non working system. By anything I really mean anything (server goes down, internet connection gets disconnected, power goes off, it does not like something about your system, and the list goes on). You can download the DVD or livecd and go from there.
