Does anybody know of any D libraries implementing or wrapping video codecs?

I need to read video files (AVI or MPEG would be fine) using DIVX,
XVID, or any other popular codec. In addition to playing those files in 
a media player control, I need to extract individual frames and perform 
various filtration and processing operations on them, for a computer 
vision project I'm about to start working on.

I looked around at DSource but didn't find anything there. Any ideas?

It's really easy to write your own bindings, be it for DirectShow or for 
decoder libraries from the existing C headers. Thats what I always do.

There is rulesPlayer: http://www.dsource.org/projects/rulesplayer it 
uses MPlayer so I guess it has to have bindings to it but I don't know 
what you can do with MPlayer.

He's probably better off using ffmpeg directly. Or DirectShow. Maybe 
there are even bindings for those on dsource.
