No, there aren't. We didn't even implement the video frame classes.

I don't think it would be hard to add support for a simple
video codec transport. The problem is the renderer.
Java basically doesn't promise to deliver any video codecs.
You are at the mercy of what happens to be installed on the OS
or by 3rd parties (eg Quicktime, DiVX etc).

(Caveat - I haven't investigated this for a while, it may be that JavaFX
changes this picture)
