I went off to freshrpms.net and poked around, then added it to my yum.conf, so 
I didn't have to worry about working out the dependencies myself. Ogle doesn't 
seem to do much, but both mplayer and Xine work fine, although mplayer 
grumbles about the speed of my machine. I had to use esd to get the sound to 
work. I suspect that if I ran the movies off the hard drive, I would even miss 
out on those messages.
