I am sorry, for not providing the coding. I have the following code, but I want the image covers only the halves of my JFrame .. what should I change it to fit as I want?

import java.awt.Dimension; 
import java.awt.Graphics; 
import java.awt.Image; 

Import javax.swing.ImageIcon; 
import javax.swing.JFrame; 
import javax.swing.JPanel; 

(public class ImageTest 

public static void main (String [] args) ( 
ImagePanel panel = new ImagePanel (new ImageIcon ("images / background.png"). GetImage ()); 

JFrame frame = new JFrame (); 
frame.getContentPane (). add (panel); 
frame.pack (); 
frame.setVisible (true); 
) 
) 

ImagePanel class extends JPanel ( 

private Image img; 

Public ImagePanel (String img) ( 
this (new ImageIcon (img). getImage ()); 
) 

Public ImagePanel (Image img) ( 
this.img = img; 
Dimension size = new Dimension (img.getWidth (null), img.getHeight (null)); 
setPreferredSize (size); 
setMinimumSize (size); 
setMaximumSize (size); 
setSize (size); 
setLayout (null); 
) 

public void paintComponent (Graphics g) ( 
g.drawImage (img, 0, 0, null); 
) 

)

Please help me as soon as possible.

Is that you change this:

 public void paintComponent (Graphics g) ( 
 g.drawImage (img, 0, 0, null); 
 )

Also I would like to recommend you to check the settings for the Graphics2D class. Because many times settings in the Graphics2D causes the problem.

Here is the code to play an AVI in a JFrame:

 java.awt.BorderLayout;
 import java.awt.Dimension;
 import java.io.File;

 import javax.swing.JFrame;

 org.pulsar.media.AVFormatContext import;
 import org.pulsar.media.MediaManager;
 import org.pulsar.media.player.IVideoRenderer;
 import org.pulsar.media.player.Java2DRenderer;
 import org.pulsar.media.player.MediaPlayer;
 import org.pulsar.media.protocol.FileProtocol;

 public class PlayMovieFile (

 public static void main ( String [] args) (
 / / Requires pulsar_media.dll library
 Media Manager. InstallNativeLibrary (true);

 / / Enable file protocol
 Media Manager. GetInstance (). Register Protocol (FileProtocol. URL_PREFIX,
 FileProtocol. FACTORY);

 / / Create frame Swing
 JFrame frame = new JFrame ();
 frame. setSize (new Dimension (480, 300));
 . Frame setLayout (new BorderLayout ());
 frame. setDefaultCloseOperation ( JFrame . EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

 / / Add Java2D-based video renderer to Swing frame
 final IVideoRenderer renderer = new Java2DRenderer ();
 frame. add (renderer. getVisualComponent ());

 / / Show frame
 frame. setVisible (true);

 / / Open movie file & find stream info (resolution, audio channels ,...)
 Context = AVFormatContext AVFormatContext format. OpenFile (FileProtocol
 . ComputeUrl (new File ("samples / elephantstrial.avi")));
 Context format. findStreamInfo ();

 / / Create media player
 Final Media Player player = new MediaPlayer (renderer);
 player. open (format Context);
 )
 )

That looks a whole lot from it simpler than JMF has with me and works perfectly under Ubuntu 8.04.
