xine, ogle, mplayer all work.

Configure your yum.conf file as posted in various messages (search the 
archives) and type in yum install (package).  Configure your player to 
find your DVD player and go to town.

I run all three and each has their own benefits and preferences.  I 
normally run from command line so I find I use mplayer more.  With 
xine, you can have a nice graphical interface that looks like a DVD 
player.

I haven't used Ogle in months.
