•JMF supports a set of open
standards for audio and video compression formats, media access protocols,
file storage
format, etc.
•You may want to use an existing
open standard or an emerging standard or a proprietary standard which is not
supported by a JMF reference implementation.
•You can extend JMF and do the following.
•Define new AudioFormat and VideoFormat classes.
•Implement Codecs for these newly defined formats and integrate with JMF.
•New media access protocols can be supported by defining, implementing and
integrating DataSource classes.
