    OK the solution to my problem.

Step 1. I wanted to see what files from vlc are still on my computer. 
The method I wound up with was # rpm -e filename. I knew what files to 
delete from the list Nigel sent and it is:

The following extra packages will be installed:
   SDL_image (1.2.6-3.fc8)
   a52dec (0.7.4-8.fc7)
   faad2 (2.5-2.fc7)
   libcddb (1.3.0-2.fc8)
   libdvbpsi (0.1.5-2.fc7)
   libdvdnav (0.1.10-3.fc7)
   libdvdread (0.9.7-3.fc8)
   libebml (0.7.7-3.fc8)
   libid3tag (0.15.1b-4.fc8)
   libmatroska (0.8.1-2.fc8)
   libopendaap (0.4.0-2.fc7)
   libtar (1.2.11-9.fc8)
   libupnp (1.6.0-3.fc8)
   mpeg2dec (0.4.1-2.fc7)
   vcdimager (0.7.23-5.fc7)
   wxGTK (2.8.4-6.fc8)
   xosd (2.2.14-10.fc8)
 From this list only libopendaap, mpeg2dec and wxGTK were NOT on my 
computer.

    Now since I have just the freshrpms repo on my yum in 
/etc/yum.repo.d when I did
# yum install vlc it did it perfect almost. The freshrpms repo is broken 
today. Here is what the download looks like at one part:

(13/20): vlc-0.8.6d-1.fc8 100% |=========================| 1.3 MB    
00:49    
http://ayo.ie.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/8/i386/freshrpms/RPMS/vlc-0.8.6d-1.fc8.i386.rpm: 
[Errno -1] Package does not match intended download

    It says it doesn't have the right vlc number or whatever. I thought 
maybe just a hickup and did this:

[root at localhost ~]# yum --enable=freshrpms install 
vlc-0.8.6d-1.fc8.i386.rpm
fedora                    100% |=========================| 2.1 kB    
00:00    
updates                   100% |=========================| 2.3 kB    
00:00    
freshrpms                 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB    
00:00    
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package vlc-0.8.6d-1.fc8.i386.rpm available.
Nothing to do

    So in summary I fixed my problem by deleting all vlc files on my 
computer. I tried to load vlc from freshrpms and it is broken. Someone 
needs to fix it. I will try to fix it using the livna repo but I am 
going to be careful :-)
