Not really... the 20070529.fc7 designation pretty much clinches the fact
that you have installed packages that were never intended for Fedora 8
but it's hard for me to determine how/where you got that from. Livna's
Fedora 7 repository has a much newer version which means that you
probably have more mess than that.

I suppose to see how badly you have things screwed up, you are going to
have to tell it

yum remove x264

and then get a list of what it's going to remove. Whether you say yes to
removing or not is up to you. You might want to put the list of things
yum wants to remove before you say yes or no.

Your call, your machine, your mess
