what's the best choice for an MPEG player for FC3? my first attempt
at using totem caused it to fail to open a standard MPEG file, and
poking around in bugzilla and a couple fedora forums suggests that
totem is still pretty buggy.
Totem works extremely well for me - you just need the plugins handle mpeg

The totem that comes with Fedora works well, but if installing a newer totem makes you feel better -
http://mpeters.us/yum/fedora/3/i386/RPMS.bleed/totem-0.99.22-0.0.yjl.1.i386.rpm
I've found that it does error messages a little better, though it doesn't do anything the Fedora version doesn't (that I have found anyway).
If you still don't want to use totem, then xine or mplayer both work well. They can be had from rpm.livna.org
