Actually, it's a little trickier than that for FC5. You have to install 
an mplayerplug-in version that disables the RealMedia. See here -
http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html#MPlayer

 From the site:
"Thomas Chung of FedoraNEWS.org <http://fedoranews.org/> has kindly made 
an Mplayer plugin rpm build available for Fedora Core 5 which is 
"RealMedia disabled" (including the SMIL and OGG Mime Types) so that it 
will not conflict with your RealPlayer installation. To obtain this 
Mplayer plug-in for playing web-embedded movies and multimedia in your 
web browser install Mplayer as described above and make sure your sound 
card is configured properly for it, then open Firefox, go to 
http://fedoranews.org/tchung/mplayerplug-in/3.25/ and download (save to 
disk) mplayerplug-in-3.25-1.fc5.i386.rpm 
<http://fedoranews.org/tchung/mplayerplug-in/3.25/mplayerplug-in-3.25-1.fc5.i386.rpm>. 
This should save the file to your home folder. If it saves the file to 
your desktop instead go to your desktop and drag the file into your 
"Home" folder. (Left mouse click on the file and drag it on top of your 
"Home" folder while holding the left mouse button down. Then release the 
mouse button.) Then open the terminal."
