Is it better to have a swing application or an applet, maybe servlet? What do you think?

If you're going to be showing a viseo with JMF, the best bet is probably an application... If you did this in an applet, you would have to provide JMF to the user and they would have to download it every time ( or install it so their VM could find it ) because JMF is not a standard Java package. In a Servlet, you probably wouldn't need to use JMF, you'd just generate a webpage with a QuickTime, MPEG, or whatever sort of video it was in the code, and play the video through the browser. Of course, if the plug-in to play whatever sort of video is not installed, the user will have to download that the first time. It all just depends on your requirements. If you're doing this on the web, the easiest thing to do would probably be the 3rd ( servlet ) way. Then you don't have to worry about doing it through JMF...
