yes but you can download & install the codecs in minutes and without using any kind of command window.
The only way I got a stable and fast universal player was to download&install the codecs, then recompile mplayer (takes quite a long time...) and checkinstall it.
This was not particularly difficult, but not specially user-friendly though!
and completely unnecessary. There was absolutely no need to recompile mplayer, there are binaries available for download. And if you already have something like apt or red carpet installed (Novell *please* include this by default) it's installed in minutes without any sort of command window I also noticed that the OP was talking about regular mpeg files. These are fully supported by the version of mplayer included in suse. No download necessary.
