I do not know why you are having problems with xine.
But you have to fix libavcodec, which is part of ffmpeg.
ffmpeg contains all of the codecs: DivX3,4,5, xvid, aac, a52, etc...
In windows, it is known by ffdshow. It is the heart of mplayer.
ffmpeg can be downloaded from freshrpms (FC6):

or, if you are not using FC6, then I suggest you to get ffmpeg from ATrpms:
http://atrpms.net/name/ffmpeg/
If you want just to play dvds, the best program is vlc, also available
in freshrpms.
It has a better control of dvd menus.

Paulo, I set out to do this, this morning. I have ffmpeg from livna
installed, so I tried to remove it in order to install the freshrpms version.
However, it said that I would also remove many programs that I need. I know
that if necessary I could make a list then reinstall them, but should I force
a remove without dependencies? If so, what is the command? I can't find it
in the man page. Is it easier to use rpm?
Sorry to be a nuisance.
