You should not install RPMs from another version of a distro onto your RH9. That's going to produce odd results.

Remove the RH8 versions and keep searching.
Check out the VideoLan project.

I'm using Xine for my RH9
xine-ui-0.9.23cvs-040328.i586.rpm
win32codecs.tar.bz2
divx4linux-std-20030428.tar.gz

If you can't get the depencies in order (since I always have probs with that) apt-get can install xine as well.
(apt-get install xine)
apt-0.5.5cnc6-0.fdr.8.rh90.i386.rpm

The xine player plays all my movies

Ouch, did some searching for xine-related info, found a good link, then realized this was mplayer-related. Heh, well, here's a good xine link anyway:

Found these rpms for mplayer:

And the repository is apt-friendly:
