[Mp4-tech] MPEG4 playback in java applet

[Steve Wood]

Manik, the player works using any of the built-in protocols that Java 
supports as well as over rtsp (udp, tcp interleave, and http tunnelled). 
Perhaps you have a tcp connection that is not running one of the supported 
protocols such as http: or ftp:. Now if your tcp stream contains just a 
raw MPEG-4 video bitstream you should be able to use the player as long as 
you provide Java with a custom protocol handler, Lets say that you make 
your protocol tcpv: (for tcp video). By adding a custom protocol handler 
to Java you will be able to pass the a url like 
tcpv://myremotesystem.com/myvideo.m4v to the player and your custom 
handler would end up being called and you would open the right tcp 
connection through that handler and provide back an InputStream when 
requested through which the player can read the data. Now the player needs 
to know the format, which is why I ended the url with .m4v so it looks 
like a file of that type (ie a raw MPEG-4 video bitstream); you could also 
end the url with something like ?type=.m4v is you prefer. There are some 
tutorials on the web for custom protocols if you search around, as well a 
or course articles in books on Java Networking etc.

Thanks Wesley,
I saw that before and the player they serve doesn?t work with packet by 
packet processing of MPEG4 data. It actually requires a file from local or 
remote machine which it can play. I am getting the MPEG4 stream over TCP 
connection. Any ideas of how to decode MPEG4 frames in an applet without 
installing any additional decoder.

Dear Manik,
It depends on how you define MPEG4 (MPEG-4 Systems, MPEG-4 Visual, 
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, ...) and on your target application, but you might have 
a look at the following website.
IBM Toolkit for MPEG-4:

of reference if possible. Thanks
