Most of the multimedia packages (because of the patents problem) won't be found in the official fedora repositories. You need to enable a repo called "RPMFusion" to get these packages. This is what you need to do. 1. Go to rpmfusion.org 2. Click on 'enable RPMFusion on your system' 3. Follow the instructions and install both the 'free' and 'nonfree' repositories
After you're done, from a terminal, type 'su' and when it asks for the root password, enter it. Now you'll have root privileges. Then the following commands will install whatever is required: yum install vlc compiz-fusion compiz-gnome compiz-manager ccsm If you don't wish to use the command-line (trust me, it's much faster than the graphical method), you can also use the package installer utility (probably called 'add and remove software' or 'software management') and search for vlc and install it. PS: compiz-fusion should be available from Fedora repo itself (RPMFusion is not required). I don't understand why you were not able to install it. How exactly did you try to install it?
