    has anyone ever used a codec for 3gp ?
    I want to play a 3gp video in Java and I can't seem to find a codec on the web.

    anyone have any experience of this ?

    cheers.

    in case anyone is interested:

    MPEG4 is based on quicktime.
    IBM Alphaworks have a codec for same, and apple have a quicktime for Java API for MAcs and windows.
    There is also an OSS project called MediaFrame that has a applet MPEG4 player.

    none of this helped me of course, but might help someone :)

    You're probably looking at a JNI wrapper, here...

    Quicktime will run 3gp or you can get a converter program to convert 3pg to avi( http://www.tomdownload.com/multimedia_design/video/convert_3gp_avi_mpeg_video_converter.htm ) . Might make it easier to work with

    Nah - its go to be 100% Java.

    I'm writing it myself in the end. My company has an unreasonable attitude towards 3rd party or GPL'd code in their core product :)

    aside from my head being mushed from reading the MPEG4/quicktime specs for the last two days, its quite fun. lots of byte level stuff.
