Add the VLC-Repository to your installation source:
http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_Ya...ideoLan_Client

Then you can install VLC via yast. If you want to play DVDs you should also install libdvdcss.

The link just redirected to the page of the opensuse wiki that points you to the proper source.
In "Yast -> Change Installation Source" you can just paste this link in the Via URL field.
Afterwards go to Yast -> Install Software and select the packages vlc and libdvdcss for install.

How do i Enable DMA on my DVD/CD drive it is a NEC DVD+RW ND 2100 AD? On the site below they recommend you to do that.

Make sure the DMA is enabled for your DVD-ROM, otherwise playback will be 'jumpy'.
