If you don't want to get into "not supported" situation when F13 comes out
(in
May), then I suggest to install F12. I use F12 at home and F11 at work, and
can say F12 appears overall more stable and mature. This is basically typical
for Fedora, every new release tends to be better then the previous. However,
there are corner cases which might bite you if you are unlucky. ;-)
As for media players, once you have installed F12, configure yum to use
rpmfusion repository (see http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration/ for
instructions, use both free and nonfree). After that, you can open a terminal,
log in as root (type "su -" and root password when prompted) and install all
players of your choice using the command
yum install putplayernamehere
The most popular video/movie players are vlc (if you prefer the GUI) and
mplayer (if you prefer the terminal).
For audio there is a whole bunch of players, from xmms to amarok. Feel free to
use google to find them all, and choose the one you prefer.
For other media, well, name the type of your media and we'll name a player you
can use. ;-)
And if something doesn't play/work, ask here and we'll try to help you out.
HTH, :-)

You should read the similar thread which has been going on for about a week
(actually should have before asking), some people have had serious issues with
video support for F12.

No problem on three systems running F12. 1 32 bit, 2 64 bit. The only
problem with 3D is the Nouveua driver not supporting 3D. I have nVidia
cards in all machines.
Suspend on the one laptop is an issue.
I have F11 on one machine that is having more problems that the F12. I
will be upgrading to see if the problem is still there.

Graphics actually work better in F12 than F11 for my Radeon 9200SE (r2xx
series) and just as well for the Intel GM965 on my laptop. This is very much
hardware-specific.

If you have good (cheap and fast) internet connectivity, try out live spins
of both f11 and f12 to see if things work for you. If both work, f12 will
be supported longer and will probably be a better choice. You can do that
without messing up your current installation.
You also may want to consider alternate distributions. If your main interest
is playing media, Fedora may not be the best distribution to use.

If you have no hardware specific requirements to stay on F11, I would
recommend moving to F12 if not for anything else just to save you
trouble from another upgrade at the time of release for F13.
I do a fair bit of programming (C++, Python, some Fortran), watch
movies and play 3D games on my F11 desktop at home. Too bad I have to
use Ubuntu at the lab. :-\

If you are a tinkerer type, Fedora will probably be a good match for you.
You might need to jump through some hoops to get things covered by software
patents and the like. The updates also come fast and furious which is both
good and bad.
Fedora does take self hosting seriously, so you should be able to rebuild any
part of it that you want to play with.
