no!  i highly reccommend mplayer.  it's a good, free movie player and
it can play a good number of non free formats such as MS asf.  the folks
who made it are even kind enough to ship it with a ./debian directory,
which means that you can:

$ fakeroot ./debian/rules binary

and then you'll have a mplayer .deb that you can install with dpkg.  give
it a shot. (note you might need a couple other packages to do this, namely
fakeroot).
