There's a handy worksheet worth working through to get all your multimedia working

I tend to go with all non-free components but in some countries you might want to take care if that means you are supposed to pay licence fees to someone. Mostly the problem with non-free is that bugs are less easily resolved whereas OpenSource is faster for that.I find non-free components tend to be easier for just working without any fuss but one day hope to be able to free myself and go completely OpenSource ;)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
