Yes, but at the moment only for H.264. See here for details:

Support for other codecs could be easily added though.

Should be no problem I think. Using gmerlin-avdecoder is less painful
then using libavformat/libavcodec directly.

I use gtk for my GUIs but I never let it display video.
My strategy is to open an extra X11 connection for video display,
create a window (with Xlib) and embed this into a GtkSocket.

This has the advantage that video display is completely decoupled
from the GUI. It can run in an own thread and has it's own event
handling.
