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
I know this is coming in kind of late, but I had the exact same problem
with totem, so I uninstalled and installed a package called totem-xine.
I haven't had the problem since. Not exactly sure which repo it could
be found. fedoratracker.org might help in that respect.
