It is not the job of the OS to support media files and the likes. Stuff like
this is best left to userland/whatever... In this case there are two good
programs aviable for for avi/mpg/asf/whatever. They are Xine and Mplayer.

/usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
/usr/ports/multimedia/xine

Xine is just a basic vid player. Mplayer has 3 parts. mplayer, the command line
movie player. gmplayer, a gtk frontend to mplayer. mencoder, a video encoder.
