IMO realplayer is a very poor choice. Few features, uses more processing power, not F/OSS, etc.

I can play rmvb in SMPlayer/Opensuse 11.0 x86_64 without problems after installing the essential-amd64-20071007 codecs from mplayer site. The relevant codecs are:
rv40 for video (in /usr/lib/win32/drvc.so)
cook for audio (in /usr/lib/win32/cook.so)

rmvbs also play in Mplayer, as SMPlayer is just a (great) front-end for mplayer.

Only small issue in that after ff/rwd the audio gets a litle bit out of sync, but syncs back after a few seconds playing.

hi, maybe a stupid question… do you know if this works for KDE?.. I ask coz I understand that Mplayer is the media player for gnome, isn’t it?, so I wondering if will it work for kaffeine too?.. thanks

I don’t think mplayer is associated with any desktop in particular. But there are front end variants which are.
