alright....so I installed MPlayer-0.90rc3 and it worked. It played avi, DVD and mov with only 2 problems
1. the OSB fonts weren't installed yet
2. DVD play was slow.
After reviewing how to fix the slow DVD play. I attempted changing the video output device. Now my mplayer doesn't even open the file. It can't find the codec. I'm a newbie by the way. Here's what it tells me:
