One additional thought to add tot he good advice already posted. I believe that there is a free software issue with some codecs, especially mpeg, which (again) I believe is patented. This makes it unshippable for RH or Fedora ... but products like xine can take codec plug-ins that are available in rpm around and about. Totem may also have such plug ins, but I expect you'll have to look for them.
