Video Transcoding/Conversion using Java - java

I would like to convert a video from one format to another. Initially, I want to convert MP4 to AVI or any other more suitable video format.
Came across the ffmpeg library. Is is the best solution?
Came across Xubber and Jave for the same? Any experiences?

I tried jffmpeg that is a direct java wrapper on ffmpeg, but didn't found much documentation over that so moved on.
I tried to use Xubber and succeded also but it requires lot of pre-configurartions like you have to install .exe file prior and set XUBBER_HOME vars etc.
I have found nice and easy to implement solution ie JAVE http://www.sauronsoftware.it/projects/jave/index.php
Try this one.

How to convert BufferedImage to AVI?

This question is an extension to my previous question:
Problems associated with my screenshot-taking software
Now with the problems solved, I want to convert the .png images to .avi file. Now the format of images and video doesn't really matter since the images are written to the disk using javax.swing.ImageIO so I can change the save format. So they are BufferedImage before being made as .png
Most questions here on similar topics were asked to use some 3rd party software and all. I want to do it using just Java.
Where do I begin?
Can you help me understand this?
If you don't mind using 3rd party libraries you might want to take look at Xuggler. It's a wrapper for ffmpeg that helped me some time ago.
Update: This demo might contain all you need: https://github.com/xuggle/xuggle-xuggler/blob/master/src/com/xuggle/mediatool/demos/CaptureScreenToFile.java

How can I play and manipulate .wav files using Java?

I'm looking for a small library to play, merge and change pitch for .wav files.
I've tried JASS, beads, something from anyexample.com, basic javax.sound examples, Sonia Sound Library etc.
Can anyone help me? I just need change pitch, merge and play wav files in Java.
Have you tried the Java Media Framework? Even though it has its limitations, it may be an option. In addition, the wikipedia article (linked above) has a listing of alternatives - maybe one of them does the trick for you.

How can I split a video file by Java

I wanna split a video file into several fragments which can be played individually.
Is there any java library can be used in this situation?
Or if Xuggle can be used, can anyone give me an simple example.
Thanks
A video file? There's quite a few video codecs, file formats. For a general solution try ffmpeg it's not a Java library but runs on all platforms.

MP4 container writer in Java

I would like to find a FREE MP4 (container) writer for Java. I do not need an encoder, only something which can write the correct atoms given their expected values. Bonus for such a library that also can write "valid" F4V.
I would prefer a pure Java solution rather than something using JNI or external executables.
Even though my answer comes very late you could have a look into my MP4 Parser/Unparser at Github. You can parse MP4 files, modify them and write the result. You can even start from scratch creating boxes programatically and write your object representation to some sink.
You can have a look at JCodec ( http://jcodec.org ). It contains an MP4 library and MP4 demuxer and muxer.
May be you are looking for something like StreamBaby.
Can't vouch for it, but red5 is an open source flash server written in Java, which claims support for streaming mp4 and has implementations of mp4 IO objects which may be able to create said format.
Also, IBM created their Toolkit For MPEG-4 a while back and though it's not free, it might help.
FFMPEG's java bindings?
http://fobs.sourceforge.net/f4jmf_first.html
Or simpler a JNA proxy over some C++ MP4 library.
I have implemented a QuickTimeWriter class which can write a QuickTime container in pure Java.
As far as I know, the QuickTime file format is structurally equivalent to MPEG-4 Part 14. There are only a few minor differences in the fields inside atoms/boxes.
So, with an MPEG-4 spec on your lap, and a few hours of work, you should be good.
The Java I've seen which modifies MP4 files would invoke Nero AAC Codec externally (a Windows native .exe which Nero does not supply the source for) to modify AAC files (which are Apple's audio-only MP4 files). It works for audio only, not to video.

Java: how to playback uncompressed frames

Given a uncompressed input file with predefined frame format, need to build a simple video player. Could anyone advise where to start? like search keywords, what library to use or examples. Thanks!
For now, I just read all frames and store in linked list which seems not a good idea. Since it should be able to read/playback at same time.
I'm partial to Xuggler. See the MediaTool part of Xuggler that makes it really easy to write programs using media files.
You probably looking for the Java Media Framework
