Processor as Player

Question

Hello,
i'm still trying to solve the problem of playing a mpg-video with a
processor as player, which runs slower then in "normal" programs.
Can anyone please try the following code with a mpg-video and his results?
(I'm using the video from( http://www.spitzenkick.de/cgi_bin/counter.php4?id33=1)
Looks the code right?
Thanks

A zombie thread revived.
I tried the answer that you gave, but it didn't have any results.
i do:
processor.configure();
processor.setContentDescriptor(null);
processor.realize();
processor.play();
I'm trying to play a .mp3 file, with no luck at all. So I tried to play a .wav file, but the problem remained.
The message i get is:
" Unable to handle format: mpeglayer3, 44100.0 Hz, 16-bit, Stereo, LittleEndian,
Signed, 16000.0 frame rate, FrameSize=32768 bits
Failed to realize: com.sun.media.ProcessEngine@bd0108
Error: Unable to realize com.sun.media.ProcessEngine@bd0108"
To be precise, the program never goes past
processor.realize();
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
George
