How is JMF 2.0 different from JMF 1.1?
The JMF 1.1 API software concentrates on the playback of media, and reference implementations were released on Java, Windows and Solaris platforms. The JMF 2.0 API software adds support for capture, transmission (streaming), and transcoding (changing from one media format to another), along with new codecs and a new plugin architecture which makes it easy to integrate new codecs and effects into the framework.
