Check out DirectX if on Windows. There is no point in reinventing multi-media codecs, just use an existing library.

It is not that old programmers are any smarter or code better, it is just that they have made the same stupid mistake so many times that it is second nature to fix it.

you're in for a lot of trouble. You'll have to work with 3rd party codecs for video/audio decoding, create a gui to display the image, and deal with a lot of errors ! you can however try to use some code from VirtualDub which is licensed under GPL.
