   	You need VLC and it requires merely that you activate the   
   EasyUrpmi stuff at their site then and then follow the directions   
   given at the VLC site.   
   	The VLC direction give an ideal cli instruction which   
   may fail but edit out the parts that do not work then try to fill   
   them in separately later.  But with minor changes that line   
   will give you VLC which will play most of the formats out there.   
      
   	If you are using a later version of Mandriva it won't work   
   so well and give you error messages that tell you nothing can be   
   done as in the 2012 Tech Preview version.   
      
   	Hope this helps
