Software :: Have A Video Player Installed On Backtrack 5

I have BackTrack 5 installed to my hard drive. I understand that this distro is focused on hacking. I think it is focused on hacking so much so, that there are a multitude of dependancies involving video and even audio, and especially media players omitted. So I was wondering if anyone has ever done this, and I think this is an issue that many wouldn't mind addressing despite finding no similar threads. Any media player I attempt to install requires numerous other files and installations to be present. So I go looking for these other software and when I try installing many of them, they too need software updates. And of course it branches and branches.
