In the Linux land 99% of the applications are open source. It is part of the nature of the GNU/Linux community ecosystem to endorse open software. But there are a few applications that are not open and as they fill up a niche, they are pretty popular. Come in and vote for your favorite.

Well for things like MythTV with HDTV having the binary only drivers greatly reduces the load on your system for decoding. The same is true for DVDs etc.
Now don't get me wrong, if AMD/ATI open up some on their video cards my next gen card would be from them for sure. It's just that there really isn't much of an OSS alternative for real 3D performance drivers.

I cannot comment on the specific things you do with video but it's not correct that you need anything on drivers to play-back video, DVD at all.
