Hi, I have a project that I am working on. I have a video and I want it to be played within my java program with pause,start buttons etc, something like a media player. My question is, How do I go about doing this?, Is their some plug in that I need to use?. Please can someone help because I completely do not know where to start. This is the first time that I am doing something this big.

Check out the FMJ library

Or even better you can use JavaFX (the new replacement for Swing). It has built in support for media playback etc. Take a look at this.

Well I haven't got a clue as you haven't said how you're doing it.

Are you sure the video component fits the entire frame?

Yes it does, heres my code:

package javafxapplication1;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaView;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.stage.Stage;


/**

public class JavaFXApplication1 extends Application {
    public static void main(String[]args)
    {
        launch(args);
    }
    @Override
    public void start(final Stage stage)throws Exception
    {
        Group root = new Group();
        
        Media media = new Media("file:/Users/pc/Desktop/Video.mp4");
        final MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(media);
        MediaView view = new MediaView(player);
        
        System.out.println("media.width: "+media.getWidth());
        
        root.getChildren().add(view);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root,400,400,Color.BLACK);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
        
        player.play();
        player.setOnReady(new Runnable()
        {
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                int w = player.getMedia().getWidth();
                int h = player.getMedia().getHeight();
                
                stage.setMinWidth(w);
                stage.setMaxHeight(h);
            }
        });
    }

    }
