I was looking for a class that I could put into my GUI that could playback video. I did find the Java Media Framework and an example but 'I think' that it's geared towards capturing video and playing it back; it seemed too complicated for what I needed.

thanks!

I should say, I found this example using JMF and it was too complicated.

Java Tutorial: Playing Video and Other Media with the Java Media Framework

The documentation shows a simple file open -> viewer window

When I insert these into my project I get a GUI that is not shown on the page; it looks like a video capture GUI

EDIT: I found something simiple: Java Tips - Make your own Java Media Player to play media files

The code wasn't the problem. The JMF looks like it's running automatically when I compile and run my project. The screen that pops up has the title EXPORT, a textfield, FILE & CAPTURE button and one of the old JAVA logos in the top left corner. Inputting values and clicking next on this screen takes me to a new dialogue that asks me to save to a file/ transmit over the network / preview on screen. Choosing Preview on screen takes me to a new window that asks me to specify the content type and parameters for output.

I'm confused as to what this is, or how to run the code that is in my project and not what I believe is the JMF code.

thanks,
