"No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "mp4v". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this."
I have tried the options for dowloading divx codecs completed successfully but "sudo apt-get update" gives an error "bash apt-get". commamnd not found, am very new in suse linux only used it for 3 days, any help will be appreciated. thanks.

Apt-get is a program used in Debian and Ubuntu based distros. Suse uses zypper.

Or you can do package management through Yast.

You are using Suse Enterprise Linux 11, not OpenSuse? If so and you have SLED 11 SP1, there is a Packman repo with proprietary stuff in it.

Or you can use the OpenSuse 11.1 repos (and possible 11.2)
