I'm looking into writing a program that requires using video. Not across the Internet, and I would either like to use an already stored video file or live streaming video. I looked into the JMF (java media framework), and read about the potential of bugs becoming an issue. Also https://media4j.dev.java.net/ which is a framework on top of the JMF which simplifies the use of JMF but also has bugs due to the JMF bugs. I read this about the bugs on a different forum so how reliable the information could be is out of my realm. I was wondering if anyone worked with the JMF, how was it? buggy? what did you make?

I was also wondering if their are alternatives to the JMF to work with video in Java.

Ultimately I want to write a program that can read in video data, modify and read out specific aspects of the video data. I just am not sure where to place my footing.

Can anyone point me in some direction?

Thanks.
