Hey.... Jim Perrin, you did it again. Thanks very much for the tip. I did a few things further to what you suggested but when I added mplayerplug-in-3.35-fc6.i386.rpm than the videos started to work.
Really nice. And that is without the W32Codec files. Or at least I never installed those codec files but who knows, they could already be installed with this new version of CentOS.
Again thanks Jim for your help . It is really appreciated..

I am trying to get my latest installation of Centos (4.4) to see videos when I am in www.cnn.com. I installed mplayer using yum and that went well. But I still get the screen from microsoft saying I need to install their plugin..
Welcome to the world of "doesn't everyone use microsoft?"
What more can I do to get these videos to work when I use either mozilla or konqueror..
You need to install mplayerplug-in, and very likely the w32codecs (no rpm available because of intellectual property and blah blah).
