You can get a fully compatible version (done by me, as the vlc
maintainer within RPM Fusion).

rpm -ivh http://rpms.kwizart.net/kwizart-release-8.rpm
yum --enablerepo=kwizart-testing update vlc vlc-core mozilla-vlc

That's really bad idea, that's not certains to have the same ABI for
all the dependencies.
You have probably broke your Fedora installation, doing things like this.

Actually, I've raised the problem to have it fixed within rpmfusion
with an alternative "replacement" repository, to handle cases like
this.
But for now, I will handle this case using my personal repository.
