Can't play movies

Hi everybody, I am using SUSE 10.1 x86_64. I can not play movie in any of the players come bundled. I tried Xine n all. I also tried .divx .mpeg .dat etc different extentions. I downloaded rpm for vlc tried to provide all the rpm to resolve cross dependency, now I am stuck with kind of circular dependency. Please let me know, if there is a player that is easy to install and comes with basic playing capability. Thanks in advance Bikram Chatterjee
