What are the chances that a package such as vlc from http://videolan.org/vlc would become included in extras? so a yum install vlc would work.
rpmforge has it, so you can install it via yum from there. I see no need in doubling efforts, as rpmforge is a trusted third party repository.
See http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories on how to set up rpmforge for your computer.
