Yeah, just use SiB and don't use the CLI. Makes mplayer very accessible.

Open xterm
use CD to change your directory to where your video is stored
LS to view what's in that directory
To "run" mplayer you simply use mplayer nameofmovie.movieextension.
So if I have umm the movie Gamer on my external memory card I would do;
cd /media/mmc1/Video/ (Becuase I store my video's in a Video directory, you can store them just about anywhere).
mplayer Gamer.m4v
Like others have said though. If you don't want to mess with CLI then just use one of the two GUI front ends. I used KVMPlayer a couple times but I still use CLI myself.
Hope that helps a little more.
