In Fedora mpeg codec is not distributed as it is proprietry but you can get it legally. Just install Linva realese for fedora 9 from here *rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm and then go in terminal and type
su then your password of root. Then type
yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly
then it will show you dependencies which are to be resolved. resolve those dependecny and then again type yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly and then it will download the files then that's u are done and enjoy the movies.
