webm / vp8 player for java

Question

hello, does anyone know of a java library that plays vp8 or webm videos?

thanks!

Answer 1

I don't know of any native implementations (yet) but there are plugins for gstreamer and ffmpg , both have very good java-wrappers

Answer 2

VLC can play webm and vp8 videos since version 1.1.0, and there are Java bindings available for it. Have a look at:

• jVLC: http://wiki.videolan.org/Java_bindings
• VLCJ: http://code.google.com/p/vlcj/

I've used jVLC and it works, but it is not actively maintained anymore. VLCJ looks very good.
