What is the Java Media Framework API (JMF)?
The Java Media Framework API (JMF) specifies a simple, unified architecture to synchronize and control audio, video and other time-based data within Java applications and applets.For the purposes of this FAQ, “JMF” or “JMF API” refers to both the specification (as generated from javadoc) and the reference implementations that Sun provides with the specification.The JMF 1.0 API specifies playback behavior and was developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc., Silicon Graphics Inc., and Intel Corporation.The JMF 2.0 API specifies playback, capture, transmission and transcode behavior, and was developed Sun Microsystems, Inc., and IBM; both companies worked jointly on the JMF 2.0 refererence implementation.
