This is a package from atrpms, which contains newer library versions.
It looks like you lose the rpmfusion.org ffmpeg-libs package during
this update attempt.

Only _before_ pulling in updates. All the packages which are offered
as update can also remove existing files and replace them with other
files. Something is taking away the needed libavcodec.so.51
Don't forget that.

Query the RPM database, NOT the local filesystem:

  rpm -qf /usr/lib/libavcodec*

Then see whether the package that contains these files will survive your
update.
