Answer 1

I did a similiar project, which shows 4 different videos in window. These videos were coming from network(TCP/IP) connection. I used VLC for encoding the videos. (Videos are in mp4 format.) Also I used QT for GUI design. Since QT has phonon framework after qt release 4.5, I guess you can use QT for both encoding videos and gui design.
