I have played video files (MPEG2) via the Windows Media Player wrapper in Delphi previously, but I was wondering whether there is any other recommended ways of playing video files (preferably MPEG2, but AVI would be good as well) via OpenGL. Ideally I would be looking for a third-party Delphi unit I can use... but even a DLL type solution might be useful. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions of what works well for them, I would be pleased to hear them.

You must decode the video format with a lib like SDL_MPEG and then you can load the data as a texture in OpenGL.

If you write your app under windows you can use video for windows(vfw) for decoding the data.
