Jffmpeg

Introduction

The Java Media Framework is the module that handles audio and video files in Java. It is used by many programs to integrate music and movies into a user interface. Included with the programming tools is a simple media player called Java Media Studio (JMStudio)

Although JMF supports a number of video and sound file types, inevitably you will eventually hit the "Unable to handle format:..." error message. That is where Jffmpeg comes in.

Jffmpeg Goals

Jffmpeg is a plugin that allows the playback of a number of common audio and video formats. It is based around a Java port of parts of the FFMPEG project, supporting a number of codecs in pure Java code. Where codecs have not yet been ported, a JNI wrapper allows calls directly into the full FFMPEG code.
