I was able to install the mplayerplug-in and I installed a bunch of
codecs on my Dell Inspiron 2200 notebook running FC4. I can now
view .wmv on cnn.com, audio files on npr.org without any problems (also
from a terminal shell) thanks to the help on this list. 

I did the same installs on my AMD 64-bit Athlon system running FC5 but
only the audio plays on the video clips on cnn.com. Is it possible to
view .wmv videos on a 64-bit system?
