HTML-faced part of <video> tag implementation is in WebCore::HTMLVideoElement (derived from WebCore::HTMLMediaElement).

Class WebCore::MediaPlayer is a platform-independent abstraction, by means of whcih WebCore::HTMLMediaElement is implemented.

Different player backend are plugged into WebCore::MediaPlayer using inheritance from WebCore::MediaPlayerPrivate, e.g. WebCore::MediaPlayerPrivateQt.

If you need to change low-level aspects of video playback, you might want to change MediaPlayerPrivateQt or implement your own MediaPlayerPrivate (we successfully done the latter in our product, using in house player implementation).
