How to install vlc media player in fedora 9?

[amarendrak]

I'm new to linux and I almost know nothing regarding the commands.
I want to install vlc media player in my fedora 9.
Please help me to do so
Also please tell me the source to get the software (vlc for linux)

Open your terminal and type as the follows:

$ su

type your superuser password

$ yum install -y vlc

[RRR]

Nothing of the following works:

yum install -y vlc 
or 
yum install vlc
or 
yum install VLC

It gives:

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package vlc available.
Nothing to do

If you are going to suggest this:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-fedora.html

$> su -
    #> rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
    #> yum install vlc
    #> yum install mozilla-vlc (optionnal)

the rpm command gives
system_release = 10 required. I tried the given rpm version of Fedora 9/10/11, and Fedora 8. All give the same error.
Please help.
I've tried this also,

Hello RRR:

Your first post (or rather: what was in reality your first post) did not show publicly because our mighty (but incredibly stupid) forum anti-spam software flagged it (because it contains a URL). Therefore, I have restored it.

Welcome to the forums.

Is there any way to ensure that spam-filter doesn't flag my posts spam. Because there are hardly any posts here without links.

Don't post spam!

Seriously: the automatic filter only works on a member's first post, and only if it contains a URL (because most spammers just post a link(s), and then exit stage left). After that, we rely on us (the Staff), and the reports of other members, to "police" posts for spam.
