Any Linux distribution can play DVDs, MP3s, and all other kinds of multimedia files. You can easily access Windows partition/disks from Linux and write data to it. There are several applications that you can use to archive/manage/enjoy your photo collection. So, in the end, you can try any of Fedora, Ubuntu, Mandriva or OpenSUSE. Each of these has lots of applications to let you do whatever you want to do. Cheers! Coauthor of Beginning Fedora: From Novice to Professional published by Apress. Please follow the Forum Guidelines
