Hi, all you software genius and applet experts out there:
I really apologize for posting a question that might be already "beaten-
to death" or impossible to implement at this time:
I like to write an applet that plays a mpeg movie repeatedly on a hotjava page.
I am sure that a lot of you have looked into this problem already when hotjava
first came out. Actually, I spoke to some of the java team members at sun
microsystems already about this matter. My impression from their answer is that
the java language is unable to provide the performance that is needed to imple-
ment an mpeg player. So what I have in mind now is implenting a native method,
with its C-codes being a simple unix system() or exec() call, to use a mpeg
player program that I already have to play back a mpeg stream. Now, I don't
know too much about the java language, and much less about unix system program-
ing, I am looking for comments and suggestions desperately. Anything you can
tell me would be greatly apprecitated.
This mailing list is probably my last resort to find answer for my
problem.
Thank you very much ahead of time, Mike
