Just for fun i’ll kick in another way that lets you add hw accelerated effects, transforms and all: using scenario’s SGMediaView that comes with javafx but is for swing (scenario 1.0, not the gpl’d scenario 0.6).

Yes, I’m sure there’s a way to do it by only using jmc.jar and the required DLLs. I’m not familiar with that API. Is there documentation on the JMC API other than the PDF?

Personally what I was interested in finding out is if you could run JavaFX code with MediaView and MediaPlayer inside a Swing application that is run standalone (the Lobo browser) with java and not javafx. Now I see how it could potentially be done.

That’s a very good attempt to do thing differently.

For those who want simpler solution integrating media support into Swing application can directly use the media API without the JavaFX classes and API :^> . The advantage of this approach is to reduce the complexity of the code (by not using JavaFX’s layer) and perhaps save some (Negligible) memory and offer slight performance improvement.

So for those who want to find out how to do this can read the following Sun’s presentation

Have fun with JavaFX and Swing…

Pure Swing code with none of the JavaFX internals is at http://www.pushing-pixels.org/?p=909
