Eep.  Checking package requirements, this is what it looks like right 
now.  I'd just get all the RPM's from the download site instead of 
trying to compile them all manually.

Round 1:
a52dec, aalib, faad2, flac, fribidi, imlib2, lame, libcdio, libdv, 
libdvbpsi, libdvdcss, libdvdnav, libebml, libid3tag, libmad, 
libpostproc, libtar, lirc, mpeg2dec, openslp, speex, wxGTK, xosd, 
xvidcore (speex and fribidi have RPM's in Fedora)

Round 2:
ffmpeg, libcddb, libdvdplay, libdvdread, libvcd, libmatroska

Round 3:
 vlc
