I have downloaded video in Rar format,I can not view this with mplayer or xine.
What kind of player do I need?

Rar is a compressed archive type. (similar to zip, etc.)

Go here and get unrar-3.30-1plf.i586.rpm. It works from command line only, but it's very easily to use (e.i., $ unrar e name_of_file_name.rar).

Just so you know, if you rather not use command line, after you install the rpm that "estatik" refers to, you can use "File-Roller". It is a graphical front end for many compression formats. After you install it and Unrar, you can use File-Roller to decompress rar files and multi part rar's.
