I have another word for you...
XINE =o)
I think MPlayer is the best but I have a lot of speed issues with it so I use this. If you're wanting to broadcast accross a network though you can't beat VLC..
Xine - xine.sourceforge.net
VLC - www.videolan.org/vlc
...and if it's DVDs you're wanting to watch then you want Ogle...

MPlayer.
Don't get RPM. Get tar ball. It will install without a single problem in Redhat 9.
./configure --enable-gui (to be able to use GUI)

don't click on anything, install it from a console screen. there's a really easy to follow guide for installing from source at the top of the "Linux - General" forum
