Is there anything available in the CentOS 6.3 software catalog that can play a DVD? I am loath to install software from external repositories. That only leads to headaches.
probably not because any legal DVD player software has to be licensed by the DVD Forum to understand the decryption keys. any use of 'cracked' keys is illegal, and Red Hat can't condone that.
you can just download the RPM from here http://pkgs.repoforge.org/vlc/vlc-1.1.13-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm or http://pkgs.repoforge.org/vlc/vlc-1.1.13-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm
if you don't want to configure the repo. there's also a mozilla plugin that enables playing videos embedded in firefox in that same folder.
i suggest to configure the corresponding repository - the player have a lot of (rpm pkgs) dependencies ...
