You will need to get the w32 decoders. It's a Microsoft Windows Media Player
format, which uses a codec that's downloadable and easily installable for
mplayer (among other media player). Try searching for the required DLL. Also
see the following:

Some formats are not included in the core of SuSE for legal reasons, I
imagine. This would definitely be the case with WMV.

Hope it helps,

Roy
