Playing a video in Windows involves constructing a chain (graph) of components (filters). You need a Source Filter that understands the container (AVI, WMV, MP4, MKV, etc.). Then a Splitter to separate the audio and video into individual streams for further processing (often the source filter and the splitter are the same filter) Then decoders to decompress the audio and video streams. Maybe a Colorspace Converter to convert the video from the decompression colorspace to a something the graphics card understands. And finally audio and video Renderers to put send the audio to the sound card and the video to the graphics card.
Some examples: http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/DirectShow_Playback_Guide
Using a worker thread to build the graph prevents the player from locking up if the process of building the thread locks up for some reason. -
A separate thread just for creating the graph, separate from the main program thread.

"worker" thread? Yes, the commies are everywhere

Indeed!
Even computing science, e.g the science of computing things, is not really a science, just like math is not a science. After all the term "empirical science" is just a pleonasm.
However there may be a compelling question whether quantum computing could be considered science.
Hmm...
