That sounds to me as if you did something wrong — vlc in livna devel works fine on Fedora devel (which F8 still officially is).

IOW: you have to use the Livna devel repos is you use Fedora Devel (what will become Fedora 8). Then vlc should work and updates should be smooth for those packages that you got from livna earlier, as livna provides up2date packages that work on rawhide.
