I tried another Yum update and it told me that those three items were not available so I assure they are installed.
No, not available means not available.
If a package doesn't exist in any repositories yum knows about, you get something like this: [root@howells root]# yum install a-non-existant-package Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Extras Server: Fedora Extras (non-US) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Cannot find a package matching a-non-existant-package No actions to take
If it's installed, you get something like this: [root@howells root]# yum install glibc Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Extras Server: Fedora Extras (non-US) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers glibc is installed and is the latest version. No actions to take
Make sure that you have suitable repositories in your /etc/yum.conf file: at least fedora.us and rpm.livna.org.
Look at http://fedorafaq.org/#FedoraYumRepos for more details, or ask here.

Below is the text I get when I try to install libdvd* libmad* totem*. The first time I got a lot of dowloading and installing and as far as I could tell everything was downloaded.
[root@workgroup root]# yum install libdvd* libmad* totem* Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base Server: Dag APT Repository retrygrab() failed for:

the http://dag.atrpma.net etc above I have no idea what it is. Below is the alternative repositories that I got off a site that had a file stating it is a yum.conf for fedora core. It lists the complete file for a yum.core and also included the DAG file that I used and is shown below.
[dag] name=Dag APT Repository baseurl=http://dag.freshrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
http://dag.atrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
I just noticed that I did not add one line below the above DAG file as follows:
##gpgcheck=1
Don't know is that is necessary or not since I don't know what it means. Hope what I have supplied is helpful.
