Before mplayer-gui installation in Fedora Core 12, you will have to add RPM Fusion repositories. After that, yum will resolve all dependencies and mplayer will be installed in a minute.
How to add RPM Fusion repositories?
# add RPM Fusion repository with the rpm command rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
If you have proxy problems, please use --httpproxy switch in rpm command. If you still have problems, you can manually download free and nonfree repositories and then install them from the local directory:
rpm -Uvh rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
Detailed information about configuring RPM Fusion repositories can be found at http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration page. Finally, Fedora Core 12 is ready for mplayer-gui, xine or vlc installation.
yum install mplayer-gui yum install xine yum install vlc
And small issue before the end. Instead of playing AVI, mplayer gave me the following message:
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
The solution was to change output video device in mplayer-gui to xv, gl, ... (depends on your video hardware but in general, xv should work):
mplayer-gui -> Preferences -> Video -> xv
Cheers!

Good stuff ! Thanks for sharing
thanx for the post
thanx for the post .
but how to do these things offline.
@karthik - I will suggest to download mplayer packages on Fedora computer with online connection. After rpm packages are downloaded, copy packages to empty directory on offline computer. Next go the created directory (with packages) and type in "rpm -Uvh *". MPlayer should install without problems. To download MPlayer packages, yum will be the perfect choice. Yum will not only download mplayer-gui rpm but all other dependencies also. To enable yum for download, you will have to install plugin called yum-downloadonly.
vlc player is working on this system
Thanks. It helped me a lot.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-clean
@quadP5nd - It seems that libvpx.so.0 library (VP8 Video Codec SDK) is missing and can not be installed automatically. Please try:
This will manually install VP8 Video Codec SDK. After installation of libvpx is finished try with media player installation.
Hope this tip will help.
Cheers!
