Can anyone show a step by step or by commands how to make my laptop get recognize dvds and play them ??
Thank you in advance !!
I suppose your problem is getting to recognize and play movie dvds, if this is the case then http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/how-faq-forums/new-user-how-faq-read-only/407184-multi-media-restricted-format-installation-guide.html
If you have a more general problem, meaning your system does not detect an inserted dvd (of any type), you need to be a bit more descriptive about your system (at first) and your problem (if possible).
For 12.2

I run the 11.4 version of opensuse… If i insert a dvd it shows up in the interface the title of it and the icon of a cd but when I double click nothing happens !! just the icon !!
What kind of DE are you using, KDE or Gnome?
In any case, the ‘pop-up notification’ should give you a couple of options, for example to view contents with Dolphin or Nautilus. Is this what you (double) click and nothing happens?
What kind of dvd are you inserting? Is it an empty dvd?
I’m using GNOME but nothing happens at all… not even the Dolphin - Nautilus option you mentioned … Actually the dvd has a movie in it !
Secondly when I insert the dvd pops up a window saying with which app to open it… Like: Open Totem, Open folder, Do nothing, Open Brasero disc burner and open with other application…
If I close this window and double click it, it opens like a folder… That’s all !
do you have libdvdcss installed?
are you 32 or 64 bit?
Pc is 64bit but don’t know which of them is supported… And don’t know a think about libs…
Can you send me a link or steps to install or fix something ? 
Do follow the guide in the link I posted before, and make sure you read the correct for your version and DE. That will hopefully take away the libs problem.
Have you tried inserting another dvd, one you have written a few files on it (aka a data-dvd) ? Can you view it’s contents ? If you do, that makes us sure it is a multimedia issue, and not something else.
For anything that you are not certain in the guide, just ask…
I PM’d a file link
Make sure you also have Packman repo
su -
zypper ar -f http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/ packman
zypper ref
then run

totem is a movie watching app, but you must follow the 11.4 portion of
http://tinyurl.com/2deqk5f first
and, then i recommend you ignore totem and instead open the movie with vlc.

dd
Pal I run all this commands and after I type:
vlc run
And it shows this:
[0x80503f0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
And some other lanes like errors…:
[0x8062168] main interface error: option qt-volume-complete does not exist
VLC should be in your multimedia menu as a launcher
Post the output of
zypper ve
and
zypper lr -d
You failed to say if vlc actually opens and works or if dvd’s now play?
On
zypper ve
it shows up something like it downloads and then stops at this point:
Problem: nothing provides libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.15) needed by vlc-noX-2.0.3-2.5.i586
Problem: nothing provides libgcc44 needed by wrapped-skype-2.1.0.81-0.w.1.1.i586
Solution 1: deinstallation of wrapped-skype-2.1.0.81-0.w.1.1.i586
Solution 2: break wrapped-skype by ignoring some of its dependencies
At “zypper lr -d” it shows this:

Now try doing this:

How can I remove them ? And I’m using the GNOME not the KDE… Or it’s the same ?
Do you have any facebook or skype?
Yast > Software > Repositories
Highlight the repos I pointed out and delete
OK out of there.
Now Yast > Software > Software Management >
View by Repository and in gnome it looks like this
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Switcher%20Pics/packman%20in%20gnome.png
It doesn’t show any button with “Switch…” on it… And it doesn’t show a packman or something similar in the repositories area…
It shows “@System”, “Updates for opensuSE”, “libdvdcss”, and a lot of “opensuse-11.4 debug or non-oss, etc…”
Please post again
