Well first of all, what distribution are you running? If you're not running Fedora core, that file to you is useless
Basically when you're done the install (which is usually just done by double clicking on the file if you're using an RPM) The only thing you need to do, if you need to do it at all, is make a link for the browser you're using. Here are instructions that will work for either Mozilla or firefox.
You have to find the file mplayerplug-in.so (I'm not sure where it is by default, you can find it by typing "find / -name mplayerplug-in.so" as root). Then go into the directory ~/.mozilla/plugins. If you don't have a plugins folder you can create one yourself but you should at least have the .mozilla folder. Make a link to the mplayerplug-in.so file by typing in "ln -s" and then the full path to the file
Do this process while neither mozilla or firefox is running and when you reopen the browser and go into plugins under the preferences, you should have a list of different file typs including quicktime and windows video files.
That's pretty much it
