In one of the repos, ffmpeg is modularly packaged, ie the conflicts are 
between ffmpeg and ffmpeg. eg libavutil is a sub part of ffmpeg, that is 
individually packaged in one repo.

What happens here is that when trying to install yum will go for the 
apparently best package; this will probably cross repos and end up with 
the errors you are seeing.

This is also the same as your first issue; the same library code is 
packaged differently between repos.

$ rpm -qa --qf="%{packager}  %{name}-%{version}-%{release}\n" /
|sort >repoinstalled-packages.txt
$ gedit repoinstalled-packages.txt

Perhaps that will help you to sort out inter-repo issues...

By the way, Jarod has recently completed getting mythtv into rpmfusion; 
you could go with that packaging instead.

If not you might want to disable both conflicting repos by default, so 
that normal fedora updates (should) work:
# yum --disablerepo=*  --enablerepo=updates-newkey update
