divx, xvid, etc:  Mplayer and Xine both handle these quite well straight out of the repository.  If you have an issue with some lesser used codec, try downloading codecpak.dsl.

wmv:  I haven't had any success with these.  I believe you can download the drivers and point Mplayer and Xine to the directory.  I'm not sure, but from what I've read I believe both wmv and real codecs are in the win32 form and Mplayer and Xine read them as is.  But then again I'm probably wrong.  I just know they aren't free (as in speech) codecs and therefore aren't distributable by the usual means.
