Right thanks for the answer. Since I don't have internet at home I would have to download them at the office and then install. Do I download all the contents of the i586 directory and install them.

When I try to playback DVD with Totem it says it cannot find a proper decoder or such to play the DVD's. What do I need to download/install to enable DVD playback on opensuse 10.3

I'd suggest to add the VideoLAN repository and install VLC. It comes with all the needed things to help you out of your situation.

Installing rpm from a repo without internet access is not trivial. It is quite hard, in fact, because you can't know what packages an rpm will depend on nowdays (rpm will report the libraries it needs, not the rpms). What I would do is compile them myself, and I would choose xine. You would need xine-ui, xinelib, and libdvdcss (possibly illegal, but necessary). Maybe you would need extra codecs later (from packman). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
