I don't have experiences with Microsoft and Apple. I don't have much experiences with consumer equipment, regarding to audio and video, unfortunately I do have some experiences :(. By all means, I recommend to test Totem and VLC. I'm interested in multimedia and I switched to Arch Linux for good reasons. I always recommend to use Linux only, even for pro audio, but this go along with disadvantages :(. You might read http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2011-December/082389.html There are solutions for audio, but for video I suspect unlikeable OS to have advantages :(. IMO it's brutal truth. I really hope I'm mistaken and you are right. Ralf
