How to save a video file which uses the setCodecChain method on its video t

Question

hi! i really need your help please. i got the Code for RotationEffect and i would like to know how to save it to a file instead of playing it simultaneously in a player:
Here is the code: Plz Help me!!! am doing my final year project
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.media.*;
import javax.media.control.TrackControl;
import javax.media.Format;
import javax.media.format.*;
* Sample program to test the RotationEffect.
public class TestEffect extends Frame implements ControllerListener {
Processor p;
Object waitSync = new Object();
boolean stateTransitionOK = true;
public TestEffect() {
     super("Test RotationEffect");
* Given a media locator, create a processor and use that processor
* as a player to playback the media.
* During the processor's Configured state, the RotationEffect is
* inserted into the video track.
* Much of the code is just standard code to present media in JMF.
public boolean open(MediaLocator ml) {
     try {
     p = Manager.createProcessor(ml);
     } catch (Exception e) {
     System.err.println("Failed to create a processor from the given url: " + e);
     return false;
     p.addControllerListener(this);
     // Put the Processor into configured state.
     p.configure();
     if (!waitForState(p.Configured)) {
     System.err.println("Failed to configure the processor.");
     return false;
     // So I can use it as a player.
     p.setContentDescriptor(null);
     // Obtain the track controls.
     TrackControl tc[] = p.getTrackControls();
     if (tc == null) {
     System.err.println("Failed to obtain track controls from the processor.");
     return false;
     // Search for the track control for the video track.
     TrackControl videoTrack = null;
     for (int i = 0; i < tc.length; i++) {
     if (tc.getFormat() instanceof VideoFormat) {
          videoTrack = tc[i];
          break;
     if (videoTrack == null) {
     System.err.println("The input media does not contain a video track.");
     return false;
     System.err.println("Video format: " + videoTrack.getFormat());
     // Instantiate and set the frame access codec to the data flow path.
     try {
     Codec codec[] = { new RotationEffect() };
     videoTrack.setCodecChain(codec);
     } catch (UnsupportedPlugInException e) {
     System.err.println("The processor does not support effects.");
     // Realize the processor.
     p.prefetch();
     if (!waitForState(p.Prefetched)) {
     System.err.println("Failed to realize the processor.");
     return false;
     // Display the visual & control component if there's one.
     setLayout(new BorderLayout());
     Component cc;
     Component vc;
     if ((vc = p.getVisualComponent()) != null) {
     add("Center", vc);
     if ((cc = p.getControlPanelComponent()) != null) {
     add("South", cc);
     // Start the processor.
     p.start();
     setVisible(true);
     addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
     public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
          p.close();
          System.exit(0);
     return true;
public void addNotify() {
     super.addNotify();
     pack();
* Block until the processor has transitioned to the given state.
* Return false if the transition failed.
boolean waitForState(int state) {
     synchronized (waitSync) {
     try {
          while (p.getState() != state && stateTransitionOK)
          waitSync.wait();
     } catch (Exception e) {}
     return stateTransitionOK;
* Controller Listener.
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) {
     p.close();
     System.exit(0);
* Main program
public static void main(String [] args) {
     if (args.length == 0) {
     prUsage();
     System.exit(0);
     String url = args[0];
     if (url.indexOf(":") < 0) {
     prUsage();
     System.exit(0);
     MediaLocator ml;
