How to setup multimedia on Redhat 6 & Centos (32 and 64 bit)

Step 1: 

Add RPMforge repository access for your Redhat $ CentOS system. (Required for the majority of multimedia packages.)

Installing RPMforge for Redhat 6 & Centos 6

The default RPMforge repository does not replace any CentOS base packages. In the past it used to, but those packages are now in a separate repository (rpmforge-extras) which is disabled by default.

You can find a complete listing of the RPMforge package packages at http://packages.sw.be/

Download the rpmforge-release package. Choose one of the two links below, selecting to match your host's architecture. If you are unsure of which one to use you can check your architecture with the command uname -i

• i386 http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i386.rpm
• x86_64 http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

        The preferred rpmforge-release package to retrieve and to install in order to enable that repository is one of the two listed above.

Install DAG's GPG key

rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

Verify the package you have downloaded

rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpm

Install the package

rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpm

This will add a yum repository config file and import the appropriate GPG keys.
