[ltp] mpg, wav, wmv, mov, and avi formats

http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/

is the URL, and the RPM seems to install fine on MDK 9.1 too :o).
I do have practically EVERY codec etc from plf installed though, so your 
mileage may vary somewhat... ;o). I only tried it in mozilla 1.3.1 so I don't 
know if konqy really manages it or not. Very few websites properly identify 
their media mime-types I've found. Perhaps windows compensates for that, but 
Linux browsers don't, so you will find a lot of stuff still won't play, it 
will just show up as trash on your screen...
