Why JMF ?
•
•JMF API provides a layer of abstraction that makes multimedia applications platform neutral.
•However a particular JMF implementation can delegate compute-intensive tasks to native implementations to improve  performance.
•Windows performance pack, Solaris performance pack and cross platform  implementation.
•Internet-based multimedia application designer has to simply adhere to JMF API.
•If client machine has JMF performance pack application will run faster.
•Otherwise … applications can still run on cross platform JMF.
