The software package , burstplayer , was using Sun's Windows JMF implemenation.

Not sure about the implementation of JMF on Windows;however, I strongly
suspect that is just as Nate described that is JMF uses heavily native libraries
or services such as Direct X.

JMF pure java implementation is not a great performer .

	Cheers
