To store images in the database

Question

hello,
from these rows of code I get one image that come from a web camera:
   FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabbingControl = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
   Buffer buffer = frameGrabbingControl.grabFrame();
   BufferToImage bufferToImage = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) buffer.getFormat());
   Image image = bufferToImage.createImage(buffer);I need store this image on Blob column of a database and, to do it, it needs of a FileInputStream type.
(pStatement.setBinaryStream(4, bynaryStream);)I saw that the elaboration to convert Image to FileInputStream is not easy and is complex too,
I tried it with unsuccess, and I am having problem to do it.
Some one could say me if the JMF API allow to get what I need in more direct way than have image and
after to convert it in FileInputStream ?
Otherwise I should happy to have some advice about how to do that converion ..
some one could help me ?
thank you
regards

I recently did some work serializing an object for transport via UDP packets using a class called:
ByteArrayInputStream
/* Grab the frame as a buffer */
FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabbingControl = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer buffer = frameGrabbingControl.grabFrame();
/* Convert the buffer's data into a byte array */
byte[] data = (byte[])buffer.getData();
/* Wrap our byte array in an input stream */
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
/* Set the binary stream of our pStatement */
pStatement.setBinaryStream(4, bais);
