java-programmer, What is the JMF? I just downloaded the Java Media Framework, but it doesn't make much sense
to me. Is it supposed to be an optional API?
If so, I don't see any demos, javadoc, etc....

The file I downloaded was called jmf-2_1_1e-windows-i586.exe.

I am really surprized that you did not find any demo and javadoc for JMF.
Did you really have a look on
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/index.jsp or
http://www.haifa.il.ibm.com/projects/multimedia/audio_video/jmf.html?Open&ca=daw-ja-dr?

You can even find a tutorial at
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/edu/j-dw-javajmf-i.html?Open&ca=daw-ja-dr

Hope this helps

Yes, and I see some online demos.
But I thought there usually is some documentation in the JDK dowloads, and
I'm wondering if I've really got a JDK or just a JRE?

If my goal is to capture frames from video clips, would this be the right
thing to use, or is it overkill? (i.e. one frame per clip to use as
thumbnail in an index).
