Problem with video file SEEKING (Seek.java)

Question

Hi,
I have a problem with seeking the video file, actually mpeg2 file. I tried the Seek.java example from sun web site (http://www.cs.odu.edu/~cs778/spring04/lectures/jmfsolutions/examplesindex.html#seek) but it doesn't work. When I try to call getControl it returns null.
fpc = (FramePositioningControl)p.getControl("javax.media.control.FramePositioningControl");
if (fpc == null) {
System.err.println("The player does not support FramePositioningControl.");
System.err.println("There's no reason to go on for the purpose of this demo.");
return false;
Does anybody have some idea how to make a player that will support FramePositioningControl ???
Or do you know some java dvd player that can be used in java application for free?
thx a lot

try {
     Manager.setHint(Manager.PLUGIN_PLAYER, new Boolean(true));
               player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(new MediaLocator("file:"
               + fd.getDirectory() + fd.getFile()));
          } catch (NoPlayerException err) {
               err.printStackTrace();
          } catch (CannotRealizeException err) {
               err.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IOException err) {
               err.printStackTrace();
if (player == null) {
System.out.println("Trouble creating a player.");
return;
FramePositioningControl fpc = (FramePositioningControl)player.getControl
("javax.media.control.FramePositioningControl");
if (fpc == null) {
     System.err.println("The player does not support FramePositioningControl.");
     System.err.println("There's no reason to go on for the purpose of this demo.");
     return;
