Mplayer is definitely the way to go!!
If you have an internet connection - Add the packman source to YaST and
then install mplayer. It will install all the codecs and you have an
option to do the opensource driver for divx too.
YaST --> Software --> Installation Source
At the bottom click Add --> HTTP
On the "Server Name" line add: packman.iu-bremen.de
On the "Directory on Server" line add: suse/10.0
Leave Anonymous checked. You may or may not want to turn "Refresh" On.
I get errors if it's not on and they update the packages at all. Click
O.K. and Finish.
Now Go YaST --> Software Management and type mplayer in the search
field. Click Search, check the box, --> Accept and away you go. It
will add the w32codec-all package as a dependency. the program installs
under gmplayer for the gui version. In kde, the link goes under
Multimedia --> Video Player.
I play quicktimes, divx, avi's, mpegs and DVD's all with mplayer.
