Record and show video JMF

Question

I want record a video from a web camera and see what I am recording on the screen. Individually, I can either see it on the screen that takes web camera, or record a video, but not both. When I am recording, the jpanel is not updated. It reports no errors at all. How do I fix this? Thank you very much. Sorry for my English.

Try using the jmapps jmstudio source code, good code for that in there. It's about the data sink and the filetype descriptor.

Concept: record from source via capture device, you need a data sink there and then load the system, store to a file and load a player from the file.

If you don't read from the file in the Player it doesn't work in JMF. Been online for 14.5 years and no problems with JMF live video.
