@Vipin, There are a number of Linux distros as you mentioned. It is harder to select one of them for using... But I'll give you some guide lines for choosing a Distribution. If you are using Windows currently and need using Linux for the first time...
1. Linux Mint - Contains all the codecs and a fresh look and feel. 2. Mandriva One - One of the tuned os like Mint If you are connected to internet, you can use any of these distributions for you purposes like Video editing, and a gaming. As you know gaming will not be as good as in Linux but you can use them with the help of an windows emulation layer like Wine or Cadega. But using such emulators are not not suggested. You can have native Linux games in any distro. Yumex,Yast,Synaptic and Kpackagekit are the typical examples of GUI software management tools based on distros and desktop environments, if you are not familiar with cli(command line interface). You can download and install native Linux softwares from the software mangement tool. In case of video editors, there are a number of softwares, but I found KDENLIVE suits best for my kind of usage...Search the software management tool for kdenlive or here is the link : http://www.kdenlive.org/ Regards to all...
