I can't quite send you an example because the only example on this I've 
worked on is the gstreamermm media player (it's in the 
examples/media_player_gtkmm directory of gstreamermm or you can look at 
the code from svn here: 
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnomemm/gstreamermm/trunk/examples/media_player_gtkmm/).  
As far as using mplayer, if you search on google or even this list 
("embedding mplayer", "embedding video" or something like that) I think 
you'll find some code that might show you how you could do this also.  
Here's a good one I found which might be useful to you:

By the way, use "respond to all" in your mail client so that your mail 
is sent to the list and others can reply also.
