Playing Videos on Linux Fedora 8
Configuring Fedora 8 to play videos is one of the toughest task. This
is because Redhat & Fedora are designed not for entertainment and in
respect of multimedia license and copyright issues.

Here's a list of task I performed to enable my laptop to play MPEG, AVI,
FLV and WMV files.
1. install repositories of livna
#wget http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
#rpm -ivh livna-release-8.rpm
2. install pulseaudio-libs
-due to dependency problem during mplayer installation
-download and install pulseaudio-libs-0.9.8-5.fc8.i386.rpm from
http://rpm.pbone.org
3. install lzo and libdvdnav-4 required by mplayer
download and install these packages
-lzo-2.02-3.fc8.i386.rpm
-libdvdnav-4.1.2-2.fc8.i386.rpm
4. install mplayer (multimedia player) package
yum install mplayer
5. install mplayer gui application and related codec
yum install gnome-mplayer
yum install mencoder
