I don't think so. If you write something that plays DVDs you probably want to
use all capabilities of a DVD (subtitles, multi-angle, selecting audio
streams etc) and also all capabilities of the framework/backend
(de-interlacing and similar filters, an equalizer etc). You won't be able to
wrap this into a simple API, and I don't think that there would be a sane way
to do this without becoming backend-dependent. Actually I think that complex,
interactive formats like DVD VOBs, Flash and interactive MPEG4 always need
specialized code in the player.
For simple playback of a video, for example in a game, a help video or some
edu app the API would be enough.
