I have Fedora Core 8 installed and am trying to watch a DVD using Totem.
When I select "Play Disc" it complains that I don't have the right
plugin.

I already went to Fluendo and got the fluendo-megabundle tarball. That
got me to see .wmv files which was nice.
I do seem to have libdvdread installed. But the truth is the message is
rather vague on what I exactly need.
What RPM's do I need to be able to watch DVD's via Totem ?
Thanks

Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because it does not have the
appropriate
plugins to be able to read from the disc.
Please install the necessary plugins and restart Totem to be able to
play this media.

Two things:
1. replace totem with totem-xine from livna
2. Even better install vlc to play DVDs.

In all honesty, very little. Nuke it.

Totem can play anything gstreamer supports which is pretty extensive.
Totem in Fedora can play open formats. If you want support for other
codecs, install gstreamer* from other repositories.

This is too open a statement. Can you be more specific?

I actually personally prefer straight xine.
But totem-xine does work.
I'll try the gstreamer plugins in F8 and see if they work. They worked
awhile back (F4 I think), then a gstreamer update broke them, then they
worked, then they broke. It was rather frustrating.
But I use totem-xine for general multimedia viewing, xine for DVD's.

Tried to load totem-xine and it complained that totem conflicted.
