What is JMF 2.0?
JMF 2.0 is the second release of the JMF API. Where JMF 1.0 and 1.1 provide a versatile player for time-based media, JMF 2.0 features media capture, streaming, transcoding, a pluggable codec architecture, and greater control over media data so that developers can make greater customizations and optimizations. Sun and IBM worked together to define the API and release three sample implementations of JMF 2.0: one written entirely in the Java programming language, and optimized versions for Solaris/SPARC and Windows.
