On the second thought, maybe you should start with
FFmpeg instead. It's _the_ video decoding library that
everyone out there is using. Which means that if you
want to have some success your API must be able to
interact with FFmpeg. You might even use it as an example
on how to design a proper API that supports many different
codecs.
