you can also Google and install individual codecs if the player doesn't have support....

eg.: DivX for Linux

Check this page - http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/projects.html#unofficial_packages

There is a SUSE link somewhere.

The recommended way to install MPlayer is through source though, so when you get more comfortable with linux, try that out

or go to freshrpms.net
