Hi Dave.
I havn't got F9 booted up at the mo, but I got mplayer from either livna, or
freshrpms, both now replaced by rpmfusion, where you should be able to get
Mplayer.
If you need to play encrypted dvd's, you will have to get libdvdcss
(libdvdcss2) from either livna, or freshrpms (some legal issues stop
rpmfusion from making the library available). I also saw some problems with
including w32codecs package when reading posts from the rpmfusion list, so
you may need to get those directly from the mplayer site, otherwise some
stuff won't work.
Vlc, Mplayer, or Totem should work ok without KDE. Totem will probably need
extra gstreamer plugins to be installed ( gstreamer-plugins-good,
gstreamer-plugins-bad, gstreamer-plugins-ugly, etc). have a look in Yumex to
see what is available. I havn't had much success with Totem, but have got it
playing dvd's on Ubuntu Intrepid, which is Gnome based.
2¢ worth of Sunday evening rambling.
