Sorry about the clickbaity (although semi-accurate) title.

I would change it, but the post got revived from yesterday, so the edit button's gone.

Is it really that bad a title, though? Few people actually write their own video decoder or display code anymore...

It's not that bad, it's just the "how to write a ..." bit seems to imply that you're actually implementing one, not just loading a library to play one. Maybe "How to play a video in less than 1000 lines"?
