Encoding for JMF

Question

I'm creating some videos from a collection of images, I subsequently wish to play this video back with java. I found JMF but I haven't been able to find an encoding which is actually playable by it. Does anybody have an ffmpeg or mencoder formulation which produces JMF playable output? I would also take alternatives to JMF if there is something better.

Answer 1

According to the JMF 2.1.1 - Supported Formats page, Quicktime and various codecs are supported for decoding directly.

Answer 2

If you're not stuck with JMF, you could try Xuggler. It will encode almost all formats for you (one of the areas JMF just falls down on).

Here's a tutorial for Xuggler showing how to create a video file from pre-existing video images.
