mplayer or xine.  I use mplayer because xine was a pain last I tried
(a while ago).

You'll have to download and compile it yourself because of the DVD
encryption, Red Hat won't distribute it themselves.

Instructions on mplayers website should be fairly straight forward if
you've done compilations before.  And put the provided .dlls in
/usr/lib/win32 and it should work great (does anyone know why mplayer
havn't had a tonne of lawyers on to them about the .dlls they privide?).
