Hi,
I am from a small Canadian company wanting to do some Java based video playback and encoding. Currently by far the best option for us to do this is JVLC but it does not appear to work from Mac OS X which was the biggest problem for us. It seems that somebody by the screen name of littlejohn is doing most of the work on the JVLC project currently.
If there is any way I or my company could help we would be very much interested, we have one full time developer as well as myself with a fair bit of experience in Java as well as access to a number of Mac computers. Let me know how we can help in any way.
Thanks
