There are many packages that are not on the Fedora repo's, usually due to 
licencing issues, etc. You will need to use a third party repo, such as 
Livna, or Freshrpms to get the package you require.

You do not say which FC version you are using, but I presume FC5, or 6.

For Freshrpms, and for FC5 the site address is:
http://bordeaux.freshrpms.net
For FC6
http://zod.freshrpms.net

The Livna repo is at:
http://rpm.livna.org/

You will have to install the gpg keys for these repos, but info is on the 
sites, and will have to setup the URL's to access the repos, in I 
think /etc/yum.conf , but there are shortcuts on the sites to save you 
manually typing in the URL's.

All the best, and you might find installing Mplayer, and Mplayerplugin from 
Livna might fix a lot of your problems.
