Java Media Development with QuickTime for Java (O'Reilly)

Chris Adamson writes about the use of QuickTime with Java. "Now that Sun's Java Media Framework can't even play MP3s anymore — support was removed in August due to what Sun calls a "licensing issue" — its collection of supported media formats and compression schemes (codecs) has dwindled to near-uselessness. The JMF's powerful plug-in architecture allows developers to expand JMF's capabilities, however, and that's exactly what this article will do, by using the rival media API, Apple's QuickTime for Java."
