Description: Think you can't build hot multimedia apps with Java? Think again! This complete, expert tutorial teaches you everything you need to leverage top-quality digital audio and video with the new Java Media Framework (JMF). You'll find extensive source code -- plus never-before published JMF programming secrets that'll save you hours of coding and debugging! Understand the JMF architecture, including data source objects, players, events, controllers, and player states. Compare the leading JMF runtimes, including Intel Media for Java, and Sun's JMF implementation. Master the Java Media Player, and key concepts such as player states, start and stop semantics, event handling, playback rates, tracking download times, and synchronization. Once you have an in-depth understanding of these key JMF fundamentals, move on to advanced topics, including creating new audio media players, creating entirely new classes of players, such as DVD players; using digital CD streaming; and JMF Web applications. The book contains valuable, hard-to-find coverage of the Java Sound and Speech APIs, audio signal processing, and the widely-anticipated Java TV and "Capture and Conferencing" APIs.
