On October 22, 2004, Novell released SUSE Linux Professional 9.2 (abbreviated as SLP9.2 henceforth) targeted at the home user and Linux enthusiast crowd. Since I am already using SUSE 9.1 for my daily work on my IBM laptop, I was quite eager to check out 9.2. SLP9.1 is already a very polished Linux distribution, with tons of software ready to go. So here's a SuSE user's review of 9.2 after several weeks using the new version. Update: Also see some 9.2 screenshots with KDE and Gnome.

From the article:
Several media formats needing special codecs will not play. SuSE does not bundle them due to issues related to redistribution. I had to download the bundle from mplayerhq site and install the Win32 codec DLLs in /usr/lib/win32/ to watch my collection of avi's and mpg's. Quicktime (MOV) files still refuse to play.
Have you tried Packman's site (SUSE rpms)? It is really great, and it is updated. I have Quicktime working in 9.1!

For codecs, look at the end of this page:
