Thanks for the reply. I asked recent version from fedora forums and one
nice guy (seve) provided a 0.9.4 fc9 rpm. When I tried to install that to
fc8 I got a bunch of dependency errors. After that Leigh compiled seve's
sources against fc8 and provided those to me and I got vlc installed.
Based on this I assume fc9 vlc rpm's might not install to fc8?

As I said if you enable F-9 in yum it will pull in the appropriate
dependencies.
