Video and Audio in Linux

Hi Guys,

I just installed Fedora Core 5 on my HP Compaq Laptop.The only video player installed by default is Totem.After installation I tried playing a VCD but it didnt work, i then ran the command online

yum update totem

it now updated totem. but i still get the error.

**player cant read from resource**

how do i go about this. am i to install codecs.if that, where do i find them.how do i install them.

Are there other players i can install. with support for most file formats

what about audio players that support most popular extensions

Here's a pretty good HowTo that covers video and audio and it should get you up and running:
