You can download and install xine and mplayer.

 

[ahmad ullah]

you can install mplayer after its download, which can play different kinds of video formats i.e: wmv, Dat , mp3, etc.
The installation instructions of mplayer can be found in README file of the player

update xine the one that comes with the distro doesn't support mpeg4 (divx) or mpeg audio (mp3), serch www.sf.net for xine

I too support VLC. It gives the same user experience in Linux as like in windows. https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-fedora.html

It works fine.

VLC is good. Another alternative is RealPlayer.

Download it from:
http://www.real.com/linux/

Before installing RealPlayer, make sure to have the compat-libstdc++-33 compatibility libraries installed.

$ yum install compat-libstdc++-33

Install RealPlayer:

$ rpm -ivh RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm
