I have been away from this site since July and openSuse has been
calling my name over the last few months.
I’m managed with Ubuntu on my laptop for a month now without booting
into XP. I have a desktop that I built myself which has Vista on it,
but now that I’ve lived quite happily with Linux on my Laptop I now want
to put it onto my big toy.
However after playing with Suse in July I would prefere to install that
onto my sexy desktop.
The problem is that I am worried about the ability to watch my MP4
movies and listen to my MP3 music.
With my limited experience of linux, I know that these codecs are not
included as standard so I would appreciate it if somebody could walk me
through how to get the relevant codecs to allow me to use my divx, xvid,
mp4, mp3 and other weird and wonderful combinations of media files.

Hi!
There is the link for 1-click collection: ‘1-click-collection -
openSUSE-Community’ (http://opensuse-community.org/1-click-collection).
You can find a lot of useful thing here (drivers, compiz, etc.). Scroll
down to Multimedia section, and choose codecs pack depending on your DE
installation.

Good advice posted above.
Once you get OpenSuse installed and have a media file that won’t play,
check this thread:
That process will help you chase down any problems with media playback. I’m running OpenSuse 10.3 and had some problems with the file types
you mentioned. That thread is located here:
