It's possible dvd playback works in gstreamer totem again, try:

wget http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
rpm -ih livna-release-8.rpm
yum install libdvdcss

If that doesn't get you dvd playback with your fluendo drivers - then

yum install gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad

If that doesn't get you totem dvd playback -

yum remove totem
yum install totem-xine xine-lib xine-lib-extras xine-lib-extras-nonfree

That will give you DVD capable totem
