@npinti That question refers specifically to JMF which (out of the box) does not support MP4. — Andrew Thompson, Apr 19 '12 at 05:40

Java SE has Java Media Framework (JMF) but it provides support for only a few video formats, not including MPEG-4.

Of course, you have some third-party choices to achieve your goal. One of them is Jffmpeg. It is an extension to JMF which contains support for MPEG-4.

Xuggler is another good choice with GPL/LGPL license. It works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

I recently had some good experiences with Jffmpeg while making high compression videos for [my tube channel](http://www.youtube.com/user/DrewTubeish/videos). – Andrew Thompson Apr 19 '12 at 05:40

Xuggler is an open-source third party library you can use to do this. Read through the API's. and sample code.
