Multimedia
processing and presentation is compute-
|
|
|
intensive.
|
|
|
Ø |
Existing
desktop media players implement
media
|
|
|
encoding,
decoding, and rendering using native codes.
|
|
Ø |
But native
implementations are not portable across
|
|
|
platforms - hence unsuitable for web-deployment.
|
|
|
Ø |
Java offers
platform neutrality
|
|
|
Ø |
However pure
Java based implementation lack
|
|
|
performance as
compared to native codes.
|
|
|
Ø |
We
need portability as well as performance.
