Which linux for dvd editing?

I have posted previously about my problems with Ubuntu and Mepis. I also can't play DVDs with them. The Ubuntu player wouldn't work at all and Mepis played it poorly. This was a DVD that I burned on my Pioneer standalone and it has been played in other players as well as in MSWindoze on this same PC. The Ubuntu forums fill up so fast that questions are asked faster than the supporters can respond.

I'm wondering what linux versions others are using for playing and editing DVDs. I tried to load PCLinuxOS and the installer blew up with no intelligent message. Even DamnSmall linux wouldn't install.

I used Mandrake 8.1 for several years with no problems so I'm getting really frustrated. My old PC bit the dust, though. Now I have a year old Gateway desktop that I want to use for linux.
