Totem works extremely well for me - you just need the plugins handle  
mpeg

The totem that comes with Fedora works well, but if installing a newer  
totem makes you feel better -

http://mpeters.us/yum/fedora/3/i386/RPMS.bleed/totem-0.99.22-0.0.yjl.1.i386.rpm

I've found that it does error messages a little better, though it  
doesn't do anything the Fedora version doesn't (that I have found  
anyway).

If you still don't want to use totem, then xine or mplayer both work  
well. They can be had from rpm.livna.org
