I can understand the LTS support complaints, but CentOS, Scientific and others
address this, but as far as the codecs part. There is a CD out there with
everything prepackaged and Fedora based:

http://reddevil62-techhead.blogspot.com/2008/10/omega-10-live-cd-beta-fedora-with-added.html
It is installable and has the packages(which are easily installed otherwise by
the way) that the users in this thread are asking for. I wonder sometimes if
people know about this, it seems that they don't know about it. I hope that
the work of several people who have taken the time to work on such projects get
the notice that they deserver :)

Antonio
