use the command line to install.. move to the directory where you have your vlc rpms then issue the command rpm -i *rpm if this doesnt work or try adding --force after the command.. should work.. note that.. vlc rpm alone is not sufficent.. it has numerous dependencies and u need to get all of those rpms for it to work correctly..
