I would like to suggest to use VLC videolan player.
 
First install livna repo.
 
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
 
then run yum
 
yum install vlc
 
VLC is an opensource video player that supported many codec.
 
Good luck

Hi all,

At this moment, I'm working hard on my current project which is migrating a music school from MS Windows XP (and for their servers: Windows Server 2003) to Fedora 6.
However, there were already a few music tutors and staff familiar with openSUSE. They agreed to migrate for 100% to Linux, but preferred to use openSUSE.
The migration went well if we speaking about basics, but one of the main issues are multimedia codecs.
Multimedia is a very important aspect for the clients in that organisation.

I gave them the Helix Banshee-player to play music and fixed the MP3-support-issue.
However, they also want to be able to play following codecs:

Movieformat: MPEG and likewise formats ??

DVD-format: 1) how to rip dvd's ?  2) how to watch the ripped VOB-files on hard disk, 'cause they 're standard not supported.

Soundformat: WMA and likewise formats ??

I tried already a few things, but Banshee, Totem and Real-player always are giving the same error: you need to install a plugin to play this format.
I installed the w32codec-all which should contain Win32 and other binary codecs, but NO RESULT.

Can someone help me?

Kind regards,
