    If you look at the bottom of the above page, you'll find links to the
    necessary dependencies! The w32 codecs aren't listed because, strictly
    speaking, you don't need them, except for certain files. For those, look
    at the top of the packman page for the package index, and there you will
    find all that you need, and some more. Download all of these files
    (lame, libtheora, Win32-Codecs, MPlayer) into a separate directory, open
    a terminal and, as root, issue the command

    rpm -ivh *.rpm
    /sbin/SuSEconfig

    If you're not comfortable with doing it that way, use konqueror to
    download the files and you'll get the option with each one to install
    using YaST: install the dependencies first, including the w32 codecs,
    and MPlayer itself last. Have a go at doing it from the command line
    though - good to learn about rpm and installing files. If you type "man
    rpm" in a terminal, you'll get lots of information on the program.
    You'll also find more information
    in /usr/share/doc/packages/"name_of_package."
