 Fedora does not come with any proprietary codecs or formats, things like mp3 
avi yadda yadda. If you want to use these I would suggest going to here 

 http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/

 Getting the Fedora 8 repository Rpm and installing it then adding the things 
you need from there. For instance if using rythmbox or Exaile you will want 
to do a 

 yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly

 or if you are using amarok 

 yum install amarok-extras-nonfree

 It is entirely up to you .
