I\'ve been looking for a while now for a dead simple way of embedding a video into my Java Swing GUI. Am I chasing after the wind? Ideally, I would love to have something like:<

I dont know why you think you need a lot of code to use JMF.

    public class mediaPlayer extends JFrame
    {
        public mediaPlayer()
        {
            setLayout(new BorderLayout());

            //file you want to play
            URL mediaURL = //Whatever
            //create the media player with the media url
            Player mediaPlayer = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(mediaURL);
            //get components for video and playback controls
            Component video = mediaPlayer.getVisualComponent();
            Component controls = mediaPlayer.getControlPanelComponent();
            add(video,BorderLayout.CENTER);
            add(controls,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        }
    }

A complete media player in like 6 lines, prob could have done it in less. If all you need is something basic, then id go with JMF.

As Zemzela mentioned, Xuggle is also a good solution but will require more work.

There are also Java bindings VLC. Click Here
