i recently installed opensuse 11.0. i tried almost every multimedia player given in the opensuse but no player is able to play videos in avi, mkv, dat format. i don’t have internet connection in opensuse so that i can directly download required codecs. i’m new in linux so please tell me about the required multimedia software which can run all types of videos and also tell me step by step how to install it.
mplayer can be a good choice, it plays almost anything without some extra codecs
