XFS is a good file system and one would hope it's good with media given 
that its original developers are SGI. Irix's XFS and now Linux's XFS 
(though apparently very experimental in Linux) also have a feature where 
you could guarantee certain I/O throughput which would be necessary for 
video streaming and such.

To be honest, I think all the file systems work extremely well and that 
I use XFS for historical reasons and any time something has gone wrong, 
I've been able to recover it very quickly.
