Hi nayana, Welcome to LinuxForums.
Try using this command:

yum install vlc

or yum install nameofpackage
where nameofpackage is the actual name of the package that you want to install.

i did tht also..bt its showing tht no match for arguments: vlc
also missing dependencies...so wt i sd do???

[khafa]

do you have a repository that contains vlc? if not first you need to find one(google might help)

[nayana]

i did like this....
yum install vlc*
the o/p was like this...
