Saving video stream

Question

hi there!
i tried to save a video stream to disk and used parts of the JVidCap Example.
A File is created, but i cant play it. Here is my code:
public boolean open(javax.media.protocol.DataSource ds,Format format) {
        Format[] f = {format};
        ProcessorModel pm = new ProcessorModel(ds, f, new    FileTypeDescriptor(FileTypeDescriptor.QUICKTIME));
       try {
        final Processor p = Manager.createRealizedProcessor(pm);
        javax.media.protocol.DataSource outputDS = p.getDataOutput();
        MediaLocator ml = new MediaLocator("file:c:/test.mov");
        final DataSink datasink = Manager.createDataSink(outputDS, ml);
        datasink.open();
        datasink.start();
        p.start();
        new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask() {public void run(){closeIt(p,datasink);}}, 10000);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return false;
public void closeIt(Processor processor,DataSink sink){
        System.out.println("closing");
        processor.stop();
        processor.close();
        sink.close();
        processor = null;
}i also tried the supported avi format, but it didnt work. Could the problem be in my closeIt() method?
i would be very happy, if anybody could help me!
greetings

I've realised that my codec does not support the movie file types I'm specifying. I'll change this, and it should work. Thanks for your help....not....
