Use mplayer and/or xine.

Visit Dag Wieers site and download install both the yum and rpmforge-release packages as per the instructions found here (yes yum does work for RHEL for third party stuff);

Then it is as easy as; yum -y install mplayer xine

And you might want to get some additional mplayer codecs installed;

Scroll down and get the codecs (Linux x86 20061022) they go in a directory called;
/usr/lib/codecs
