So if you have installed Centos 5 and want to watch movies, what packages are needed to make this happen?

yum install gstreamer-plugins-good

yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad

yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly

You should be rockin! Totem will now play your videos without issue. However, I still use vlc media player for my DVDs.

From my research gstreamer still has a little work to do on the DVD menu front, VLC works flawlessly.
