MPlayer is the way to go but for christ sake please read the doc before compiling (unless there's a RPM avalaible by RH).

Agreed, MPlayer is hands down the best media player for Linux out there, especially when comparing "can it play ____" to other media players. There's practically nothing that MPlayer can't play (given the correct codec being installed, and they've hacked many codecs of their own, including a decent Sorenson one).

For your situation, since they don't have RH8 RPMs, I'd say to grab the source RPMs from the bottom of this page - http://www.piorunek.pl/~dominik/linux/pkgs/mplayer/ and then build your own RPMs from those source RPMs.

Again, MPlayer is the best media player out there. But Xine is also very good, easier to install, and is much better with DVDs, if you have a DVD player.
