Hey

I am in matric and I would like to find out if their is a way to add videos to any java program. If anyone knows of a tutorial or and example that is on the internet please post it here. Any help would be appreciated

your sig is waaaaaayyyyyy tooo heavy

er - sorry i will edit that but I am using Ready to Program for my school syllabus so any help would be appreciated

first, grab a copy of the Java Advanced Imaging API <<link!
you'll need these extensions installed in your current JRE/JDK.

while you're at it, bookmark:
JAI API FAQ page <<link!
Java Technology Forums: Multimedia and Imaging <<link!

getting to know jai was the most fun i've had in a while...

Ok i have done that and now?

you've installed the JAI package?...

there's a bunch of demo's and source included.. tried any of the examples in the links provided?..

<edit>
two clicks of the rodent and we have an excellent example right here...
</edit>

I copied the above and it gave me this error :

Error: Could not find packaged named:

this was for import javax.media.*;

Am i supposed to be using ready to program, to code for java or is there a better program?

JAI package? is that Java Media Framework?

have you installed the jmf package?

link previously provided here... you need this...

as for a better IDE, check out:
Netbeans or
Eclipse

both are excellent packages...
<edit>
yes, the distributable is JMF, (java media foundation), which includes the JAI API..
</edit>

yeah i have downloaded that. i will try one of those other IDEs

I think that you should copy paste!!

:stupid:

I tried NetBeans

package javax.media does not exist

Where do i download this package from?

this package is installed along with the jai... it should be under your java/%ver%/lib or java/%ver%/lib/ext folder.. .

are you running more than one jdk?... in which case, be sure to specify which one you're building for under netbeans, (right click the project folder, select properties>libraries> then verify the "Java Platform" selected... the jmf executable will install into your *latest* jvm.. you may need to manually copy the jar extensions into your jdk jre... (ie, copy the jai packages from the jvm lib/ext to that of your jdk...)

am i speaking russian?.. shout if i am...

I got to the libraries part, but then how do u verify Java platform? i dont see an option for that?

sorry but not really skilled in programming especially with netbeans...

YEAH!!!! I finally got it to work in netbeans after Ready to Program was being a @$$hole. At least it works fine in netbeans thanks Rusty for all your help much appreciated!

Oh and what was wrong? I am sooo ashamed to say after installed the jmf, i didn't restart... But Ready to Program still doesn't accept the code but at least netbeans does. Thanks Rusty

ah.. yes... the installer modifies the CLASSPATH to include the jai..

glad to hear you're sorted... have fun
