Question about the Linux codecs

[Winamp_Hater]

Can you tell me where can I find codecs , such as DivX, XviD, Mpeg2, NSV, QuickTime for SuSE Linux 9.0? I've got only Kaffeine, RealPlayer and XmmS, which cannot play everything. I also couldn't install MPlayer.

Thanks....

build mplayer from sources and get win32 dlls from your windows box. Should work #1.

Thanks! I'll try.

Full instructions to what Sirber suggested are available in Question 2 here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=628815#post628815).

Thanks a lot, KpeX ;)

function compile_mplayer() {
#before compiling it, move the codecs into the proper dir
mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs
tar -vjxf codecs_essential-20041107.tar.bz2
cd essential*
mv *.* /usr/local/lib/codecs

#codecs_essential-20041107.tar.bz2
mkdir $HOME/.mplayer/
mkdir $HOME/.mplayer/font
tar -vjxf MPlayer-1.0pre7.tar.bz2

configure --with-codecsdir=/usr/local/lib/codecs/ --enable-gui --enable-jpeg --enable-largefiles --enable-debug=3

make
make install
}


of course just a simple suggestion, adjust the configures to what you need, and also consider moving the fonts which you can get at mplayer site too

maybe it helps, compiling mplayer from source seems to be a much better option IMHO
