Question VLC Media Player installation Issue

Hi All,
I'm having some tough time installing VLC on RHEL5.

Tried yum install vlc. And there were many dependencies to begin with, however managed to install some RPMS manually and reduce the dependencies. BUT still have one more. Please look into the below details and advice on how to solve this... many thanks...

It is safer (to use CentOS5) than using a RHEL4 repo, much safer
