ATrpms had this same issue last month.  The issue is that rpm inspects the
binaries and builds a list of things required and things that the package
provides.  For some reason, it generates a dependency of
libnvcuvid.so()(64-bit) but builds a list of the things provided of
libnvcuvid.so.1(64-bit) (IIRC).

Look at the ATrpms dev list for how to fix this in the .spec file:
http://lists.atrpms.net/pipermail/atrpms-devel/2012-December/thread.html

In particular, I believe the suggestion here:
http://lists.atrpms.net/pipermail/atrpms-devel/2012-December/002931.htmlwas
the ultimate fix.  You could also look at the spec file in ATrpms for
ideas:
http://dl.atrpms.net/src/f17-x86_64/atrpms/stable/nvidia-graphics310.19-310.19-154.src.rpm\

FYI, I had no problem building this for F18 without applying the above fix,
so I'm not sure if there is something that is different with Fedora <= 17
that is causing this problem.
