Basically there are two contenders for the spot of "video player for Linux that plays everything" ..... Xine and MPlayer You can get Xine from: http://xine.sourceforge.net/ and MPlayer from: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/ Personally I have had better success with MPlayer - as in it was easier to configure and install with a basic SuSE8 install than Xine was... but that is my experience.

Howdy all,
My wife and I just picked up our first DVD, and I was wondering what everybody recommends for DVD viewing under SuSE. I'm running 8.0 Pro, but I heard that Xine is only on the personal edition. Can I get that of ftp? Anyway, I'd like to hear what everyone likes to use.
My wife is fighting unsuccessfully as I type this to get it working under WinXP (which she clings to like a bad junk habit), and I would love to have our first DVD viewing under a real OS.
Thanks a lot for any comments/advice! Eric
