Few would argue, but in reality legality matters.  You can, in fact, play a 
DVD in most of those applications, providing it is non-encrypted, but the 
movie industry being what it is, you don't find many of those.  Grab the 
plugins from the repositories recommended to you.  I did it the easy way - I 
elected to use xine from freshrpms and it offered me all the plugins I needed 
to do the job.  One automatic installation with yum.
