Welcome to This Forum :)
You have to enable RPMFusion repo in Fedora 9 and install the GStreamer packages which is similar to K-Lite Codec Pack in Windows.
*rpmfusion.org/Configuration

What error? Are you using GNOME or KDE? If GNOME then install GStreamer and if KDE then instll libxine

how to install the codecs ----> we can use the yum installer or normal installation

Download VLC from PackageKit in Fedora 9 and you wont have any problem. In Linux one package depends on another. Thats why we use Package Manager to download & install applications in Linux.

The applications are stored online in a repository. You have to search and install in distro-based Software Manager.

Arey baba, open your Package Manager(Yum), search for VLC and select it to install. It will download VLC and install it. To run VLC, press Alt+F2 and enter vlc. Was that too difficult?

Or Execute this
Code:
su -
yum -y install vlc
Thats it. Look for VLC Player in Menu.
