Answer 1

For zozonTz : I am not sure if this is the answer to your problem, but your error message looks similar to mine when I run the TVApplet.java downloaded for JMF Sample page on my 3870 iPAQ. A Pro from Sun send me an email and finally I can play a QuickTime movie clip with both video track ( compressed in CinePak) and audio track (compressed in ima4_ms). The email is quoted here:
"JMF 2.1.1 (cross platform) works on the iPaq with a slight modification:
You'll need to run the customizer tool and remove the JavaSound renderer.
JMF is getting fooled by the Java version number on the Jeode VM. It
thinks that it is running on JDK 1.3+ and tries to use the JavaSound API.
You might have a similar problem with video, you'll need to manually
remove Java2DRenderer.class from the jar file. Once again JMF thinks its
running on JDK 1.2+ and tries to use the Java2D API.
Please use these hacks for now until we can officially fix the problem.
Of course, you can download the JMF source code and modify it yourself."
How to run the customizrer.exe on an iPAQ? No, you don't need to according to this Pro:
"Execute the customizer on a PC. The jar file that it produces can then be
used on the iPaq instead of the original jmf.jar"
As how to install JMF on an iPAQ, it was very simple for me since 3870 modle has Jeode VM build in, all I did just create a directory for JMF and copy the *.jar file I needed for my application under it, then use -cp path/to/jmf/jarfiles in the script (*.Ink) to run the application.
