I can't express how deeply I don't care about which video player I use. If I can get one of them to do everything reliably, I'll stick to it and dump the rest, but I suspect that isn't possible.

This is Linux, you have the power and the code to mould your desktop in your own image. Dont wait for a distro which is legally encumbered or slow maintainers.
This speaks exactly to what I'm trying to say. My interests in multimedia are exclusively as a user. Maybe I could spend a year or two researching the various technologies and standards and come up with something I liked, but frankly life is too short and there are too many other interesting things to do. All I want are some clear guidelines and I'll take care of the rest.
