Need documentation on how to render videos manually in template files.

I've been looking for this for a few months now and I've never found the answer. Checked the IRC channels a thousand times and every Google result, so this is my last resort.

Is it possible to, given the field information for a Media: Youtube file, display the video manually in a template file?

The image in attachment #1 (krumo.png) shows my field (http://i.imgur.com/nQQXkQ7.png). It lives in $node. I've tried the following with zero success

<?php print render($node->field_video_link); ?>
<?php print render($node->field_video_link['und']); ?>
<?php print render($node->field_video_link['und'][0]); ?>

<?php print $node->field_video_link; ?>
<?php print $node->field_video_link['und']; ?>
<?php print $node->field_video_link['und'][0]; ?>

I've also tried nearly every possible combination of

<?php print theme('media_youtube_video', $someArrayOfOptions); ?>

including but not limited to (I've also moved these combinations around within themselves):

$someArrayOfOptions = array(
    'uri'=>$node->field_video_link['und'][0]['uri'],
    'width'=>'700px',
    'height'=>'700px',
    'autoplay'=>true,
);

$someArrayOfOptions = array(
    'uri'=>$node->field_video_link,
    'width'=>'700',
    'height'=>'700',
    'autoplay'=>false,
);

$someArrayOfOptions = array(
    'uri'=>$node->field_video_link['und'][0]['uri'],
    'width'=>700,
    'height'=>700,
    'autoplay'=>true,
);

$someArrayOfOptions = array(
    'uri'=>$node->field_video_link['und'][0]['uri'],
    'width'=>null
    'height'=>null
    'autoplay'=>true,
);

Attachment #2 (yt.png: http://i.imgur.com/eNM7CvQ.jpg) is the closest I've come with every combination:

The play button is not clickable, the video doesn't do anything doesn't play, the space is just to make sure I could see everything.

Please, how can I just print a playable video with a size of my choosing, in a template file?
