I always just use mplayer from the command line, it seems the best way
for me... YMMV.
Read "man mplayer", and edit ~/.mplayer/config appropriately.

My advice was not really meant to help with kde-specific stuff, as I know
nearly nothing about it. I was just trying to help you play videos.
There are certainly better newbie-friendly choices for desktop, BTW
(gnome and xfce come to mind).
Probably kde is best left to kde experts, or at least that was my impression
the few times I played around with it.
