I'll see your fedorafaq with my http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ.

And for the original poster, here are some simple instructions.

As root, type

rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm

rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna

These commands are from Mauriat's site above.

Then type

yum install mplayer*

or
 
yum install vlc*

or

yum install xine.i386 xine-*

You should now be able to play movies with whichever you installed.
