JPEG images to video in Java

Hi guys,
I am a working professional and my task is to create a video from set of images in java.
I know that this is a very simple task and can be done using jmf and JPEGIMAGESTOMOVIE.java file as provided by sun.
I downloaded the both things from java site.
When I run the .java file, it compiles successfully with one Xlint:unchecked warning.
But when I run it, it thows the following error:
Exception in thread "JMF thread: SendEventQueue: com.sun.media.processor.unknown
.Handler" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.sun.media.multiplexer.video.QuicktimeMux.writeVideoSampleDescript
ion(QuicktimeMux.java:936)
at com.sun.media.multiplexer.video.QuicktimeMux.writeSTSD(QuicktimeMux.j
ava:925).......
I don't know where the error is.
Please help me to solve this issue, otherwise my boss will chew me up.
Thanking you all in advance.

Regards,
Lovelesh Saxena.

Welcome to the Ranch!

Can you please post the full stack trace? These exceptions come from within an Oracle library, which means that either you've found a bug, or (more likely) you've called it incorrectly.

And please KeepItDown next time. That also applies to subject lines.

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
My complete error trace is:

There's the cause of the problem. Can you show us line 196 of JpegImagesToMovie and the method that it's in? Make sure it's clear what line 196 is.

You should check out generics to prevent this warning (not error). It's not absolutely necessary but it will make your code cleaner, as you can get rid of a lot of explicit casts.

Hi,
According to my counting the following is line no. 196
public void controllerUpdate(ControllerEvent evt) {

if (evt instanceof ConfigureCompleteEvent ||
evt instanceof RealizeCompleteEvent ||
evt instanceof PrefetchCompleteEvent) {
synchronized (waitSync) {
stateTransitionOK = true;
waitSync.notifyAll();
}
} else if (evt instanceof ResourceUnavailableEvent) {
synchronized (waitSync) {
stateTransitionOK = false;
waitSync.notifyAll();
}
} else if (evt instanceof EndOfMediaEvent) {
evt.getSourceController().stop();
evt.getSourceController().close();
}
}

The one in bold.
Thanking You.

All I can say is that you are not passing any incorrect arguments, which I first thought.

Hi,
Then what can be the problem.
Please try to solve this issue, because I need it to work.
Please, please, please help me.

I don't know what the cause of the problem is. If I did I would have already told you. Perhaps someone else can help out instead.

Hi Rob,
Thanking for replying.
I think that the code which I have, having some problem.
If you can please share the code which according to you may run successfully.
That would be great help.

Hi guys,
I have done it.
My problem is solved now.
I take another code example MovieEncoder.java.
That is a great example code with everything explained clearly.
Thanks God!!!
Thanking you all too.
