I use the following:

core/updates/extras/livna +

gstreamer -
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/fedora5.html

I only use the gstreamer-0.10-gst.repo file.
The -deps repo is basically just livna stuff.
The -apps repo didn't have anything of interest to me.

I like the gstreamer repo because it has some cool plugins that are not
in rpm.livna.org - and also, gstreamer10 is under somewhat rapid
development, bug fixes seem to appear there first. Word of caution - it
will replace core/updates gstreamer packages. I think it is worth it
though. The packager for that repository is a core gstreamer developer,
and also packages stuff for extras/livna.

tetexrpm - (self plug) http://www.tetexrpm.org/

This is a repo I run for strictly noarch packages for tetex3.
Unless you are into LaTeX, it is of no interest to you. That's all it
has.
