Media player for SuSE 10.0 - Will play .avi, .mkv, .ogm


Yo, ok, I just got a second hand laptop off a friend of mine, I'v installed SuSE 10.0 under KDE Desktop. Now I need a recommendation for a Media Player for it, One that'll run .avi, .mkv, and .ogm. Any good ones out there? i'm fairly new to Linux, I had a desktop for 3 months with the same distro, but so far I'v only mastered installing new applications with .rpm packages, any Media players with .rpm install packages would be preferred. Thanks!

Hmmmmm

I'v tried Mplayer before, but I always had trouble with the video something or other, can't remember what, but i had to change a setting each time I loaded Mplayer before I actually played video, or it crashed.

Have no experience with SUSE, but mplayer, Xine or VLC will all play most of the formats you throw at them. Installing any one will be enough. Just check the net for the easiest way of installing media players for SUSE and you're set :-)
