Man you put the win crap in the /usr/lib/win32 dir and old mplayer
don't care what the format is between all the stuff that supports and
all the things mplayer supports out of the box you are set.

The link I gave tells how to set up so you can get the mplayer plugin
but you can set up Dag's repo in your yum conf but not enable it by
default.

The you run yum --enablerepo=dag install totem-xine for example to get
just the stuff you want without running into possible dependency
issues with lots of outside repos.

Good on Dag's Fedora yum repository or something like that.

Sorry too tired and lazy to link.
