jffmpeg.sourceforge.net - similar effort

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hi

JMF is an elegant media framework with poor performance. The community needs as many high-performance JMF components for various codecs as possible. Fobs4JMF is a great effort in serving this need.

However, I think other simultaneous efforts like jffmpeg, which is based on the same ffmpeg library that Fobs is based on, should be brought under a single umbrella so that efforts are not overlapped and the community gets a full coverage of the essential components required for an end-to-end high-performance media framework in Java.

I am posting a similar post in jffmpeg forum as well. Let's see what the initiators think about merging both of these efforts - or at least coordinating for better synergy.

Hi,

well, last time I checked this project it seemed to be very very dead. The only version was available via CVS and the functionality offered was very poor. Besides, although Fobs4JMF seems to be the star component, Fobs was created to be an Object Oriented interface for the ffmpeg library (covering all the possible OO languages).

I will check the new version to see what's their progress. But the lack of support of the jffmpeg project(and my reasonable thought that it was dead) are the reasons why I created the Fobs project.

Cheers.
