Pequisp,
Sorry that I haven't answered your questions, but I have moved to Ubuntu. More stable, more automatic and, most importantly, fast updates.... I am in Brazil and I never acomplished to update suse... With Ubuntu and apt-get, it is like I am updating from the machine across the room.
Anyway, hope the topic is of use for other suse users.
Pequisp: install automatix and then, from automatix, install everything related to video (divx, v4l, wincodecs, etc....).
I think that will solve your problem....
... or see you at the ubuntu forums :-)
Henrique
