$ yum list installed \*dvd\*
Installed Packages
libdvdcss.x86_64                       1.2.10-1
libdvdnav.x86_64                       4.1.3-2.fc11
libdvdread.x86_64                      4.1.3-2.fc11

Do you have the other two packages? Maybe that is why totem can't play
your DVD. I use totem to watch commercial DVDs just fine.
