Hi, I've done a lot of work using JMF a couple of years ago. Yes, it is probably both abandonware and alpha quality, but the framework architecture is quite usable. I basically used C++ and JNI to write a decoder that plugs into the JMF framework, and then I used the rest of the framework as is. I could also replace the renderer with my own implementation that used some DirectX API. For Mac OSX you could write a Renderer that uses the native MacOSx rendering system, or even Quicktime, and plugs into JMF. JMF allows a very modular/pluggable processing chain to be set up, and parts of this can be replaced with your own custom implementations.
I've read some good things about QTJ, but have not used it myself yet.
