i don know how far this solves your problem,
if it says there are some missing dependencies , when you choose to install, it also installs the dependencies by default , if there is failure of installing the dependency then it is a problem
but the easy way to install vlc player is - first go to livna rpm website and install the yum repository rpm , next go to the official vlc website and see the download instructions, its simple, just have to type in terminal . install vlc xxxxx , and also install the plugin for your firefox, do this first and post any error messages that pops up in the terminal

i downloaded the file http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
then open it and this message: /home/viridis/Desktop/livna-release-8.rpm is already installed ,
i typed in terminal yum install vlc

Hi,
I suggest you to remove the package that contain libx264.so.56
As root you can:
# updatedb
# locate libx264.so.56
/usr/lib/libx264.so.56
# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libx264.so.56
x264-0-0.10.20070819.lvn8
# rpm -e x264-0-0.10.20070819.lvn8
and then, finally
# yum install vlc

I do it like this:
# updatedb
# whereis libx264.so.56
/usr/lib/libx264.so.55
# yum remove libx264.so.55
# yum install vlc
that's ok !
