[SLE] viewing videos using Windows Media Player and Quicktime and SuSE 9.3 -- how to do it?

Hello, everyone.

Using SuSE 9.3 and Kaffeine I can view all sorts of video formats, but I
cannot view anything that would require Windows Media Player or Quicktime.
Would sure appreciate help with proper codecs or other applicable solution.

I am using Firefox 1.0.7 and Konqueror 3.4.0.

For example, if I go to www.cnn.com and click on any of the buttons that say
"watch," a window will open that says:

"Plug In Warning. The CNN.com video experience is optimized for Windows Media
Player 9 or above. No Windows Media Player detected. Get the player."

And it has a button there that will take me to the Microsoft website where,
presumably, I could get WMP 9 or 10 if I were running Windows.

For an example of my problem with Quicktime, please see

Going to this page I am asked to download a plugin, but when I try I can't get
anything, and I get error messages about the missing plugins.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!
Gil
