There are several players available, for gnome there is the Totem player. To enable non-free media format playback in Totem you can install gstreamer-ffmpeg or replace totem with totem-xine.
There are loads of alternatives to totem though, if you're using KDE and want something that integrates well there's kaffeine. MPlayer is another alternative that can run without a GUI. There's also VLC and Xine and loads of others.
See www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware on how to install all of the mentioned players.

My personal favorite is Xine, but ever since the 64-bit version (from either livna or freshrpms) has a problem handling the windows, I use totem-xine from livna with the xine-lib from freshrpms (I like theirs better). VLC is another fine player, though I haven't dug their UI.

Is xine and totem-xine in one of the official (core/extra) repos? Don't seem to be able to find them...

No, you will have to install the Livna repo, found over here. Worry not, as Livna is made to specifically work with Extras and Core and won't touch any Core/Extras packages in terms that it will not substitute Core/Extras files.

I personally recommend an old iBook off eBay running OS X, but that's not really what you were asking.
I use mplayer, it works pretty well for most things and what it doesn't work on, I view on my Mac, or not at all.
