Did you used the auto installer or you have selected them by hand in packagekit (or in yum)? Because fedora leaves this decision in your hand. Basically is it so because if you know your needs, with-what, - the system * will not * overwrite/complement your selection. This is true for the other triggers also, themes, fonts and many more parts inside of the system - as it as for the decoders. Maybe this is the actual problem, and thats why the players are looking for the resource locator with mpeg 1-2 decoder. Technically DVD's base TS video is Mpeg2 and Mp3 voice. Newer discs/machines are using inside H.264 and possibly higher audio compression....seen many types. So to use the auto installer for decoders, you have to between the first system customisations choose such movies, files where you surely know that you need decoders. Try to play it - as many as you could - and rest will be done by packagekit. The best is using movies - because of that files has audio *and* movie parts. After this I add dvddecrypt, and the other as you mentioned above - and will work wonderfully. This is the way how am I installing video/dvd part inside fedora after I have rpmfusion has been integrated fully.
