OK.

Let's start with the media players. Some are better than others, which one are you using.
I recommend MPlayer
http://www.mplayerhq.hu

Java.
What is the problem exactly. Is it an installation problem ?

MPlayer.
Did you install the GUI or non-GUI RPM of MPlayer ?
Are there any error messages ?

Java
Did you download and install the RPM or a Binary ?

If you want to find the Java plug-in, use the find command:

Code:

find / -name libjavaplugin_oji.so

Do a search among the installed RPM for MPlayer using the following command.

Code:

rpm -qa | grep mplayer

It will return a list of all MPLayer RPMs installed.

Also, I do not exactly understand the problem concerning your CD drive.

Hello,
I just moved the thread to Linux - Software. I think it's closer related to your post and more people will be able to read it (and help you).
