Suse 9.3: after loading the multimedia packs 1&2, the support for multimedia was really good.

Documentation for Suse Linux 9.3&10.0:

Start here:

http://www.opensuse.org/End-User_Documentation

What kind of information are you lookin for? programs/package info?

Basic guide :
1) download and install suse
2)add packman site to Yast as repository (or use apt) so that you can get Mplayer and working video-codecs...

You could also try a SuSE live CD to try it out. I expect there are live CDs for many of the distributions you are curious about.

You'll probably need to install MPlayer and its codecs for those to work (as onjoo mentioned..).

you could have got mplayer for fedora, and mp3, avi etc support (it doesnt come out of the box though).

and as for it looking nice... that can all be changed with themes/different window managers
