The best method to get every thing up and running is to add plf to urpmi's source pool and install them from there. plf is a collection of programs and modules that Mandrake can't distribute with it's distro due to copyright issues.
urpmi.addmedia plf http://mandrakeusers.com/PLF/mandrake/9.2/i586/ with ../hdlist.cz
#all on one line.
Then when it's got the list.
urpmi --media plf libxine1 xine-win32 xine-gnomevfs
and either xine-arts if using kde or xine-esd if using gnome
For playing Movies and dvd's I'd personally suggest mplayer.
urpmi --media plf mplayer-gui And yes to all the other files it want's to install.

Not a big success so far. I tried two different DVDs, with exactly the same result - the DVD spun up, then Totem crashed.
Running Mandrake 9.2.
I don't really know where to start on this one. Might the DVDs be encrypted? Would this cause Totem to simply crash? Totem will cheerfully play an audio CD on the same drive.
Totem uses the xine libs to decode movie content. If you do not have libdvdcss or another similar CSS descrambler installed that libxine can hook into, then 99% of commercial DVD's sold will not play on your system.
Good grief, replying to myself again! :-)
If you have trouble playing Windows Media Video 8 or 9 files, and Quicktime movies (quicktime especially) you will need to install this following package...
w32codec-0.5.2-1.i386.rpm (another binary only rpm)
...which can be downloaded from here...
