You have dependencies yum was not able to resolve. Did you invoke it with

# yum install dvdrip

or in some other way? Do you have (for example) Livna repository enabled and 
functioning?

There is not much to it, really.

$ man yum
$ man yum.conf

In short, yum is a program that communicates with on-line 
"repositories" (servers that support yum and have multitude of rpm's packaged 
for our beloved FC; aside from the default ones I can recommend 
www.livna.org) and their mirrors, in order to do a multitude of things, but 
most frequently download rpm files, resolve their dependencies, download the 
dependencies and install all that to your machine.

It is generally extremely easy to use, provided that (a) you have enough 
bandwidth for downloading things and (b) you have it configured correctly. If 
you have anything better then a 56kbps modem, you have (a) satisfied. 
However, in order to satisfy (b) you have to be aware of several facts, like 
what repositories you use/want to use, what mirror is nearest to you, do you 
have to use proxy and how to configure it, etc.

Once you have it working, the only thing you need to know is the name of the 
package you want to install, and you can get some idea about it using google, 
this list or partial-guessing, like

$ yum list packagenam*

or such. There seem to be problems now and then about mixing repositories (two 
different repos providing the same package, but being 'out of sync', meaning 
that one repo is not aware that there is a newer version of the package out 
there, AFAIU), but that goes away with time. Also, I have enabled only base, 
extras, updates-released and Livna, and never ever needed anything else.

That's it. I installed dvdrip and xine to my fresh FC4 a year ago simply by 
typing

# yum install dvdrip
# yum install xine

and yum took care of "the dependency hell", downloaded everything, and 
installed it.

I like to start it from the command-line (never used any GUI) and even spend 
some time simply watching it work. ;-)

All in all, I guess Seth Vidal is doing great job... :-)

Best regards, :-)
Marko
