hi
i have installed mplayer in suse but when i play movie from command line
movie starts at the top of screen and there is no box for the screen so cant even bring it back to center of screen. is there any option to do so.

or any other player ? i have other media player already installed ( by default )
but when i play movie from those players it says need to download codecs ...

I really wonder why you need to use command line to start mplayer. Just press Alt and F2 and type mplayer and press enter

I'd say install mplayer-gui which is a gui frontend for the mplayer cli and try if things are solved. It most prolly will be :)

i Had the same problem!!
There is only one solution to this according to Ubuntu Forums.
They asked me to use some Nitric Acid over the Hard disc and then use Ammonium Dinitro glycerine tri benzene fulro chloric acid on the speaker!!
And all of a sudden there was a huge sound which came from about 10 miles away and Voila! I had Windows Vista running! And my problem was solved!
Trust me, this works..
Awesome advice! you live upto your username!!

^may be vista needs some acid work from u; better go pour some acid on Vista losers

ontopic:
mplayer compiled with gui support is only useful.
