My problem is video codec support right out the box an MP3 decoding.

Still, I'm well on my way to being MS-free.

If you got one MPeg4 codec, you can pretty much do them all. I use Xvid
on one machine, ffdshow on another machine and divx in a third. But what
about H.264? Are there Linux codecs for those yet?
ffmpeg, and if your compile a recent version of mplayer it has it too.
