Below is the text I get when I try to install libdvd* libmad* totem*. 
The first time I got a lot of dowloading and installing and as far as I 
could tell everything was downloaded.

[root workgroup root]# yum install libdvd* libmad*
totem*
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base
Server: Dag APT Repository
retrygrab() failed for:

  Executing failover method
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Cannot find a package matching libdvd*
Cannot find a package matching libmad*
Cannot find a package matching totem*
No actions to take

the http://dag.atrpma.net etc above I have no idea what it is. Below is 
the alternative repositories that I got off a site that had a file 
stating it is a yum.conf for fedora core.  It lists the complete file 
for a yum.core and also included the DAG file that I used and is shown 
below.

[dag]
name=Dag APT Repository
baseurl=http://dag.freshrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag

http://dag.atrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag

http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag

I just noticed that I did not add one line below the above DAG file as 
follows:

##gpgcheck=1

Don't know is that is necessary or not since I don't know what it means. 
 Hope what I have supplied is helpful.
