Java Media Framework basics

The Java Media Framework (JMF) is an exciting and versatile API that allows Java developers to process media in many different ways. This tutorial provides an overview of some of the major features of JMF, mainly through the use of working examples. Upon completion of this tutorial, you will understand the major players in the JMF architecture. You also will have worked directly with JMF, using live examples and source code that may be extended for more specific purposes.

Topics covered in this tutorial are as follows:
• Tips for downloading and installing JMF
• Major JMF classes and their uses in the JMF architecture
• Playing local media files
• Presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) for media access and manipulation
• Broadcasting media over a network
• Receiving broadcast media over a network

Almost any type of media manipulation or processing is possible through JMF. A comprehensive discussion of all the features JMF has to offer is well beyond the scope of this tutorial. Instead, we’ll use three simplified media applications to learn about the framework’s building blocks. In this way, the tutorial will prepare you for future study and the implementation of more specific applications.
