I found success with another player: totem. I installed totem using # yum install totem
and I can play DVD movies. There is some output from totem, however, that may be helpful to get these other players working. I'll paste it below (The Transporter is a pretty cool movie, too, btw! Check out the music by Stanley Clarke in it!):

Would this help diagnose the problems with the other DVD players?
