Hi everyone!
I want to play video in my D-application (maybe WebM or Theora). 
However didn't find any library for operation with video in D. I 
am a beginner in D, experience of transfer of libraries with 
C/C++, certainly isn't present.
Maybe somebody will prompt something?

P.S. My application uses SFML (DSFML).

My suggestion would be to go the direction of libvlc[0]. I did find a 
forum post from SFML that may help you.
It is a c library so it shouldn't be too hard to create a binding to. 
Perhaps something along the lines of Derelict-Util[2] will help with it.

If you need shared libraries and don't want to build your own, you 
should be able to extract them after installing Vlc itself.

Thank you, Rikki! I try.

the gtkd project also has gstreamer ported and have an example 
where a video is played back in the examples directory. I haven't 
tried it myself but it's worth checking out.

If you can ensure the host machine will have ffmpeg installed, 
you can do it like AE does:
