Player is a movie player which runs on many systems (see the documentation). It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, RealMedia, Matroska, NUT, NuppelVideo, FLI, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV movies..
Another great feature of MPlayer is the wide range of supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, but you can use GGI, SDL (and this way all their drivers), VESA (on every VESA compatible card, even without X11!) and some low level card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and ATI), too! Most of them support software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen. MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the Siemens DVB, DXR2 and DXR3/Hollywood+.
MPlayer has an onscreen display (OSD) for status information, nice big antialiased shaded subtitles and visual feedback for keyboard controls. European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic and Korean fonts are supported along with 12 subtitle formats (MicroDVD, SubRip, OGM, SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle, JACOsub, PJS and our own: MPsub). DVD subtitles (SPU streams, VOBsub and Closed Captions) are supported as well.

Hi. I'm also a newbie. Considering that there are several people who need installation methods on suse 10.1 and it is not listed on the website for the software perhaps it would be nice if you posted here? Thanks. email: yyarin@gmail.com if you could please send me the instructions you sent others if they are too easy to be worthwhile to put here for other users.

well actually the installation instruction have attached on the tar.gz/tar.bz2....
all you have to do is take the mplayerXXX.bz2/gz n also the codec for linux...
first uncompress the mplayer package .... read the README or INSTALL.... then uncompress the codec locate to the directory pointed on README or install..
back to mplayer ....
do this following....
"./configure"
"make"
"make install"
btw all i write here are available on the package.....
if u don't comfortable with this installation way,..... get the rpm package you can google it ....
