I have created a Multimedia Pack portable for OpenSUSE, the included programs and codecs are:
1) VLC
2) Mplayer
3) Smplayer
4) Amarok
5) DVD::RIP
6) K9copy
7) Avidemux
8.) ffmpeg
9) w32codec
10) Gstreamer *
11) K3B – K3BCodec
12) Libdvdcss
13) xine – libxine1*
14) Kdvdcreator
15) Winff
16) mjpegtools
17) Acetoneiso
you can install any of the above without internet, they include all the dependencies, just unzip the both files into a folder named MMP2009 and create a repository from that folder as a simple rpm folder in yast, then make a search in the yast installer with the name of the program and check it to install it, this is very important if you don`t have internet at home, and besides, by default Open Suse doesn`t include several codecs due to license matters.
I created a blog about the MMP2009 where you can download the pack:
