yum install mplayerplug-in mplayer-skins wget http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20050412.tar.b z2
mkdir -p /usr/lib/win32 tar xjvf essential-20050412.tar.bz2 -C /usr/lib/win32 --strip-components=1
How can I point firefox to this directory /usr/lib/win32?
you don't. if you have sucessfully installed mplayer and mplayerplug-in the next time you start firefox it should know about various file types and be able to open them in the embedded viewer. restart firefox, type about:plugins into the addressbar, see if the mplayer plug in has registered correctly
some kinds of .wmv files you will *not* be able to play - encrypted and DRM-saddled files are a no-go.

yum install mplayerplug-in mplayer-skins doesn't give anything Where can i download it or yum another way? What will be the application to launch if one does not use firefox?
At present, if the file is DRM or encrypted AFAIK the *only* option is to use winblows. They have pretty well tied that access up for us.
