How do you create and use cross-platform media with JavaFX technology?
Cross-platform media refers to video and audio content that can be played across desktop computers and mobile phones. JavaFX provides a common set of APIs that make it easy to include media playback across all JavaFX enabled devices. JavaFX leverages the underlying media frameworks on each supported platform and device and enables access to all native codecs. In addition to using native codecs provided by each platform, Sun has partnered with On2 to use the On2 Video VP6 decoder with JavaFX technology for media playback. The VP6 decoder enables you to play FXM media on Windows and Mac OSX desktops and browsers without installing additional software. You can convert any media format (wmv, mov, and other formats) to FXM by using On2 Flix software. You can download the 30-day trial version of the On2 Flix software. The On2 Flix Desktop Software Specification describes the capabilities of the product.
