Is there any way to play h264 video in a java applet?

Is there any way to play h264 video in a Java applet? Not Java FX, but a plain old-school Java applet? I had a look at X开发者_StackOverflow社区uggler but these guys do not support applets at the moment.

Thanks

You can play video in Java applet but that would require you to implement your own player.

To decode video you can use JCodec ( http://jcodec.org ), it has a handy class called FrameGrab, and you can use it like this:

int frameNumber = 10000;
FileChannelWrapper ch = null;
try {
    ch = NIOUtils.readableFileChannel(new File("path to file name"));
    FrameGrab frameGrab = new FrameGrab(ch);

    frameGrab.seek(frameNumber);
    BufferedImage frame;
    for (int i = 0; (frame = frameGrab.getFrame()) != null && i < 200; i++) {
        ImageIO.write(frame, "jpg", new File(String.format("img%08d.png", i)));
    }
} finally {
    NIOUtils.closeQuietly(ch);
}

If you are also planning to play audio you can use: JAAD ( http://jaadec.sourceforge.net/ ) and do something like this:

Decoder dec = new Decoder(decoderSpecificinfo);
SampleBuffer buf = new SampleBuffer();
dec.decodeFrame(aacFrame, buf);
//the aacFrame array contains the AAC frame to decode
byte[] audio = buf.getData(); //this array contains the raw PCM audio data
