Ralph,

You may need to wait until the official release of F9 before the 
third-party repositories are completely up to speed - and possibly a 
little longer (I haven't checked this myself, but it's been my 
experience in the past).

You can get the codecs you want via http://www.mplayerhq.hu
although not everything will use them yet.

when the repositories are up to date, the place I tend to get the 
'non-free' elements is livna - http://rpm.livna.org

Stuart
