Simple. Just fire up a terminal and type
$ mplayer <file-to-play>

<file-to-play> is the file that you want to play.

There is also a nice gui which you can start by typing
$ gmplayer

but it is not always available.
Another thing you might try is:
$ man mplayer

this will give you much info, and it will help you quite a bit
understanding the features of mplayer if you read it and experiment.

keep in mind that mplayer is not just a video playback program... It is
a powerful tool, and like most powerful tools, it is meant to be used
from commandline

have fun using the best player in the world...
