For Mplayer, Real Player and Xine look at---

<<http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html>>

and---

http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mplayer-fedora.shtml

Each has a little different approach to acquiring and installing each
player. There is a ton of information about installing and customizing
FC4 on each of these sites.
I used the "mjmwired" site for FC3 and both sites as "gobyes" for FC4.
I prefer the "stanton-finley" site for FC4.

Thanks,  Robert
