JMF video capture problems on Windows XP

[Canaan]

Ok, I am writting a java ap to capture video (real time) from a Canon GL1 Digital Camcorder (over firewire) so that the live feed can be rendered to a second monitor.

I am using the CaptureDeviceManager to get the DeviceInfo obj, and the DeviceInfo to get the Locator obj and the Locator to create a realized Player obj and the player to get the visual Component. However, when I attempt to view this video there is nothing showing. I've also used player's getControlPanelComponent(), same results;

When I display the component with the control panel, I see the timer running, but no video.

Also, please note that the JMStudio application doesn't produce video either. I looked at JMStudio PluggIns Viewer and there is nothing connecting the video path, but the audio path is flashing away.

Lastly, let me note that I am successfull interfacing with the camera using other application (Adobe Premiere, DVGate, window's movie capture...). So that leads me to believe that it's not a hardware issue.

I did update my JDK to 1.4.2.

Is there a know problem with JMF on XP? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

If all you want to do is display live video, you can use
JMStudio to see if it can record. If that works, then I would wonder what else you are trying to do.
