You configuration play commercial DVD's?

What version of Fedora?

Did you try playing from the cmdline and see the error messages with 
mplayer or vlc?

Does it play in your home player?

Region issue with your DVD player in the computer?

As some libraries necessary to play are not provided by Fedora, it may 
be better to move to the rpmfusion list.
