VLC and Suse8.2

Hello Everyone, Has anyone used VLC successfully with Suse 8.2? Where would I get maybe a working rpm for Suse 8.2? I already looked at the site and it appears that there are alot of dependencies. Does anyone have a way to get it going in Suse 8.2? I would use mplayer instead but it just started to become flakey with both my desktop and my laptop after working very well. That is another thing to pursue probably on the mplayer forum. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Marcia
