Note: For those who don't know : JMF -- Java Media Foundation classes from Sun With respect to the performance : cygnu's java compiler is closely approaching the speed of C and yes I am well aware of its status . If the Windows people managed to write JNI libraries to boost performance of JMF we can too. Prior to doing in any significant work in this area , the first baby step is being taken : yuv->rgb + scaling hardware assisted support for X. If anyone wishes to part take in this project please send me private e-mail. JMF applications on windows fly --- I used to watch two or three mpeg movies on my "trash" PIII 450 box . Trash box because is where I just swap OSes and do whatever I want with the system . The player which I was using http://www.burst.com is written purely in Java and I know because I used to work for them. > > The ball is on our court .
