Re: AW: [Juglist] JMF Education

[Daniel Zhang]

I disagreed.  JMF is a Java technology that tries to "synchronize and 
control audio, video and other time-based data within Java applications 
and applets". By definition, it tries to deliver the media data to end 
users with better quality and control management. So I don't think it is 
a toy or tool only for developers. When talking about web-based online 
service, we face variety of end-users. It'll be very difficult to 
promote a technology when you put so much burden on client side.

By saying that, I don't think JMF could reach general users in an easy 
way. However, it's useful in some areas like remote-education, media 
services etc. Just my two cents.

I thought the JMF was mainly for use as a media framework for writing 
applications?  As far as I know it was never meant for end users.
