Try uninstalling ffmpeg, then install vlc and reinstall ffmpeg.

yum remove ffmpeg

Just be aware that if ffmpeg depends on other packages, it may end up uninstalling those as well. Pay attention to what is going on - you should be presented with a list of packages that will be uninstalled. If there's any that you still need, you may have to reinstall those separately. However, it's likely that they will automatically be reinstalled when you reinstall ffmpeg.

OK, are you actually using RedHat 9? I would seriously recommend that you don't. RedHat 9 is a dinosaur and if you try to combine it with newer software (as you appear to be doing), it will almost inevitably result in the sort of dependency issues that you are experiencing. If you like Redhat, I suggest Fedora 7. It's brand new, it's free and it's based on the latest RedHat (in fact, it's the other way round: Fedora is in many ways a test release for the next RedHat).

Ah, I was really confused seeing that you have RedHat9 under your name. Anyway, go to Applications > Add/Remove Software and check whether you find any trace of ffmpeg.

Please alter you profile to reflect your current setup.

What repos are you running. Unless you really know what you are doing you can only use 1 repo in addition to the Fedora one.

Ah, I think that I see what is wrong. Livna. You may not be aware of this but livna can be extremely treacherous. The thing is that it offers certain packages that are incompatible with other third-party repositories. Sooner or later you will run into some serious dependency conflicts and your system may get confused beyond the point of repair. You wouldn't be the first to discover some day that their system can't be updated anymore because of this reason.

If you take a closer look at the error messages you posted above, you'll see that there is a conflict between ffmpeg (=ffmpeg from one of the non-livna repos) and vlc.lvn (=vlc from livna). Consider this a first warning and feel lucky that you got any warning it all; similar packages will often install without any problem - and then problems start later, when you least expect it and haven't got a clue what could be wrong.

I strongly recommend that you open your livna file in /etc/yum.repos.d and set it to disabled (=0 instead of 1). You shouldn't need livna for vlc anyway because the package is in one of the other repositories as well. Keeping it disabled at all times is a failsafe way of preventing packages from getting installed from livna rather than one of the other repositories. Whenever you do need a package specifically from livna (because it's the only one to provide this or that package) you need to enable it manually, like this:
yum --enablerepo livna install [package]
This will enable livna only for the duration of the install after which it will be reverted to disabled.

I agree that a repo conflict is probably the source of the problem.

But livna is generally considered the most compatible with Fedora itself, with Freshrpms being a close second(atrpms being considered the most dangerous, known to be not compatible with Fedora proper). Generally regardless of which repo you choose, just use one (in addition to fedora proper).
