I would try mplayer.  It has worked flawlessly when I needed a dvd
solution fast.  Commercial distributions may be very shy in the patented
world of multimedia solutions, so you may have a more difficult time
getting it to work with redheat.  In gentoo, it was "emerge mplayer" and
the system would do all the dirty work making this one application capable
of playing every multimedia format I have seen.  Hopefully, someone has a
quick howto on doing this with redhat.  mplayer is the shopping mall of
multimedia playback.  It has everything you need in one small package.
