You can start by getting familiar with ffmpeg [1] by playing with it and glance at its libraries (I call them libffmpeg, but they have their specific name) allow you to do. Keep in mind that libraries contain frequently used functions and are written so they can be reused, shared by other/news softwares eg. the one you want. Start by opening a flash video eg one .flv [2] file from youtube with a first python script that use the right component(s) of libffmpeg. Python allows you to use C libraries.
