I need to convert some movies to a format that can be played back with
the java media framework.

...are you aware of the JMF forum?(1)

...Even though I am following the cheat sheet
for formats and am limiting myself to those playable by the
cross-platform version, I am having difficulties. For example, trying
to play back a QuickTime movie with H261 and Alaw audio. However, when
I try to play it back, I get an array out of bounds exception in an ibm

sourced package for H261.

Could anyone recommend a video format (including audio and video
compression) that they know works with the JMF.

(1) Having said that - I am not sure if I can provide
any help on this matter, however, I do have some
files generated indirectly by the JMF (see page for further
details) that are *playable* in JMStudio under *Windows*..

A few web-browsable ones are here..

Sorry.. usually my 'examples' are smaller than
(checks smallest MPG) 5.75 Meg.. but these MPG's
have been seen to work in the *Windows* version
of the JMF - do ..any of those files work in the JMF
on your target OS/PC?
