DiVX in SuSE

Hi everybody... Why is so complicated play DiVX en SuSE, I already have a Mplayer playing DiVX but had to compile again with DiVX codecs and win32 video libs... even like that, don't support my subtitles, why is that hard?... bsplayer in windows do it same and better with subtitles and it's free.... anyone had another solution than mplayer and subtitles support?
