Capturing to the screen with QuickTime for Java
Capturing to the screen with QuickTime for Java - O'Reilly Mac DevCenter Blog: "Back when I wrote QuickTime for Java: A Developer’s Notebook, it was assumed that media capture was broken in QTJ. This dates back to a huge disruptive change from Carbon to Cocoa between Apple’s java 1.3 and 1.4 implementations, with Cocoa not supporting some stuff that QTJ relied on. When they got QTJ running with java 1.4, they did so with a scaled-down API that didn’t feature everything from the old version (for details, see this blog on the breakage and this article on the resolution). One of the things left out was a means of getting an on-screen preview of your video capture device."
