I had lots of trouble with up2date. It appears that every time I would connect, it would redirect me to a random mirror. I never could figure out if it was my configuration, or just the way it works, but eventually I would always get hosed when some mirror was out of sync.
Instead, I installed the apt package from dag.wieers.com. I comes pre-configured with all that you are looking for. Since you are new to Linux, you may also feel most comfortable using the synaptic tool for software management.
If you decide to go this way:
# rpm -ivh http://dag.wieers.com/packages/apt/apt-0.5.15cnc6-4.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm # apt-get update # apt-get install synaptic
This should set your repositories to a good mixture. If you want to add any other apt repositories, simply create a new file in /etc/apt/sources.d using any of the files in there as a model.
With this basic setup, I have mplayer, the libdvd stuff, and much of what you seem to be asking for:
