I'd add dag, dries and atrpms to your /etc/yum.conf , then yum install
mplayer* gxine
With Mplyaer and gxine you will also need to go to
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html and get the
necessary codecs.
User them both for awhile, and pick the one you like best.
More detailed instructions are below.
1. Edit /etc/yum.conf by adding:
[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
[dries]
name=Extra Fedora rpms dries - $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/redhat/el4/en/i386/dries/RPMS
enabled=1
[atrpms]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el4-i386/atrpms/stable
enabled=0
2. Go to their homepages to import GPG keys or set gpgcheck=1.
3. GEt the codec package and follow the instructions in the README.

4, yum install mplayer* gxine
