    I hate to say that I answered my own question but I did. I have
    win32codecs.tar.bz2 that I did the command:
    "bzip2 -df win32codecs.tar.bz2" to turn it into win32codecs.tar
    then I did "tar -xvf win32codecs.tar" to uncompress it, and then I did a
    "mkdir /usr/lib/win32" and after it made a win32codecs directory I then
    looked for wmvdmod.dll and did a "cd wincodecs"
    once in that dir I did "mv wmvdmod.dll /usr/lib/win32". It now is
    playing Windows Media like a champ! I got my file from:
     http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/
    Latest Win32 codecpack
    Im not going to install all of the codecs yet im going to install them
    as needed. It seems some may conflict?

    Thanks and sorry I bothered the list it was kinda off topic. It is part
    configuring Fedora.
