If you just need MP3 support, you might want to start here. Otherwise, I recommend using RPMFusion.org's MPLayer package with the codecs found at http://www.mplayerhq.hu.
First, install RPM Fusion's free and nonfree YUM repositories. For detailed information about installing RPM Fusion, see: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
su -c "rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm"
su -c "rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm"
Next, install MPlayer from RPMFusion.org.
su -c "yum install mplayer gnome-mplayer gnome-mplayer-common mencoder"
Now, visit the MPlayer Codecs Directory and download the latest 'All' tarball.
wget http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20071007.tar.bz2
Next, prepare the codecs folder. MPlayer from RPMFusion.org will use /usr/lib/codecs.
su -c "mkdir -p /usr/lib/codecs"
Other media players like Xine and avifile might use /usr/lib/win32, so create a symlink.
su -c "ln -s /usr/lib/codecs /usr/lib/win32"
ls -l /usr/lib/win32
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2008-05-24 08:02 /usr/lib/win32 -> /usr/lib/codecs
Finally, extract the contents of the tarball and copy all files to /usr/lib/codecs.
tar -xjvf all-20071007.tar.bz2
su -c "cp -a all-20071007/* /usr/lib/codecs/"
See the MPlayer(1) man page for /usr/bin/mplayer usage.
man 1 mplayer
