Jar making a crucial task for long avi file

[Comal Rajagopalaratnam Muthukumar]

Hello

Before wishing goodwishes for the forth coming new year,

let me get comprehended as to whether or not the jar tool in java
will reduce the bytes of my long .avi file when making a Jar file with any .class file. & if the same is also added to it.

If this archiving is not possible ,how to reduce the size of my .avi file( 30megabytes).
So please help
Thanks

The JAR tool does compress files, similar how to ZIP works.

However, some file types just don't compress very well. AVI is a container format for video. The video itself inside an AVI can have different formats, and many video formats already store frames in a compressed format. Trying to compress such a file again with the JAR tool, or any other compressing archive tool, will not compress the file much more.

If you really want to make your video file smaller, you should re-encode it with a lower frame rate or lower resolution. That will ofcourse lower the quality of the video.

You can't attach jar files here, only image files.

I don't understand what you're asking, particularly the "interface for an application" part. Are you trying to make a single jar file which contains your classes, and the JMF classes, and which when double-clicked runs your code?

Hello
Because of the iinterface usage here javax/nedia/ContollerListener though the jar creation for the above codeded application is possible, it is not exexuting for the command java -jar JMFPlayer.jar giving the javax.mediai.ContollerListener class loading task error. You know interface while implememtimg an applicatin plays a behavioural changed roles and i guss that colud be the reason.I also tried to make anothersub application useJMFPlayer.java(so that the class file need not be bottleneckfor the error
as follows.It is here i need help as to how to make ny jar an excutable one
The class files are in the jar JMFPlayer.jar that i forwarded through attachmet path of the forum with option

Still not clear. Is or is not the issue that you want to create a single jar file that has everything you need? If it is, how have you tried to make such a jar file? If the issue is something else, give the concise details of what it is you're trying to do.

The class files are in the jar JMFPlayer.jar that i forwarded through attachmet path of the forum with option

As I said, you can't attach class files or jar files here, so there is no such attachment. But that's just as well, we just want to know what you're trying to do, and then help you do it - not do it for you.

You need an appropriate manifest entry that points to your class. Start here: https://coderanch.com/how-to/java/JarFiles

Hello Colleague

This is the same prg as above but with more essential classes included with your
details that you indicated.it is errorless ,able to get executed .hence ,i could
make a jar out of it and tried to execute it but still invain & the error details
along withe the the other particulars that i am sure, out which you could
enable me to do the rectification so as to make the jar eventually an exeutable one
that I long wish.Please note that the 09.mp3 is a song.
In the event of your help happens to be succesful i once again thank you.

Your code uses the javax.media package, which is not part of the JRE; you'll have to distribute it along with your own jar, and add an entry to the manifest.

Apart from that, it seems that the jar file you created is a bit of a mess - it includes the class files twice, once in the correct package directory, and once in some other invalid directory. It also seems to include an older version of itself. While these may not be actively harmful, I would advise not to include anything that you don't need.

You have not set the classpath correctly in your executable JAR file. You'll need to include all necessary libraries in the classpath, by setting the 'Class-Path:' attribute in your executable JAR file's manifest files. It's explained in detail here: Adding Classes to the JAR File's Classpath

By the way, is there a specific reason why you are using a very old version of Java (version 1.4.1)? I'd recommend upgrading to the current version (Java 7) if you can.

Hello Colleague

Thanks.

As sampler details of my newly tried jar file as per the help rendered is made for my long file in mp3 formated that shows ok but consumes a lot of space (35 mega buyes meaning the jar is not effective even under extn of jre (endorsed diredtory )usage or declaring the class path also,but works well
Thanks and feed back please

Hello colleague

Thanks for tutorship. I was able to make a jar file adhering to the classpath correctly mentioned way in my manifest file and on execution
java -jar east/west/south/JMFPlayer.jar it works well, but the use of MyJar.jar as per ther tutorial was not at all any benefit in as far as reducing the long mp3 file which is again time consuming for porting the jar file (10 megabytes) through online.
Also the jar even though works on this command does not work on double click by mouse on a window. why and any renedy for the same
Thanks once again
