Java newbie & JMF

[user]

Hi
I'm an old, old man, but new to Java; it's really a nice language.

Can anyone point me to some documentation on using the JMF? I'm
replacing some other systems and one thing I need to do is have an
applet that continually gets data from a webserver and decompresses it,
it's compressed in H.263 which I see is surported by the JMF. I have the
applet going, getting data from the web but can't find how to setup and
engage the H.263 decompression. Any documentation around that covers
this area? or code? or someone who'll come round to my flat and show me?
or something?

Thanks

Steve

I've had a look at this. JMF is a very complex tool. The big problem
is weeding through all the fancy options to find just what you need to
do the minimum to display a stream.

I am doing a similar project right now, not using JMF. I could tackle
yours, but I could not do it free.

Roedy,

Thanks for the offer, but this is really about my learning a new
language, which these days really means it's classes. I'm going through
the JMF API document, but finding it light on useful material, it's all
rather wordy and descriptive.

Any pointers to documents etc would be really appreciated

Thanks

Steve
