Advice please :JMF or another ?

[Audrey]

Hi,

I want develop an application but I don't know if JMF is the best
framework.

I want to load movie and image to build a media sequence (like movie
maker), add transition in real time (like wipe, fade) when I pass from
movie 1 to movie 2.

Thanks for your help.

That depends largely on the media types
you wish to support.*

Can you do that in an image slideshow?

I suspect most of this will come down to
getting Image objects and grabbing frames,
and recombining them within your code, to
achieve the fades, wipes etc. the user wants.

Thanks for your help.

* I have had some good results using JMF for
a variety of (local only, not deployed) media
projects. It is very good, for example, at turning
JPEG images into playable MOV files.

On the other side, JMF x-plat version support only
a few types of MOV's and some types of AVI's.
MPEG does not seem to be supported on Mac.
OS at all.

If you only mean to support a limited range of
video (and audio) types, JMF might do, but it
is very old, and will not support many of the
newer formats.
