Capturing frames from a video file for further processing?

Question

I am a beginner in java, recently i have studied about JMF (Java Media Framework) from this link, I have learned that how to play a video file in java programs using JMF, Now what I need to do is, I have to capture frames from given video files and then process it using some image processing algorithm and then I have to send these from to that player for displaying. Can anyone please suggest me that how to do that.

I have already read this link

If you're not required to use JMF, it is probably worthwhile to consider other options at this point. Unfortunately, Xuggle/Xuggler is apparently on hiatus - but if the state of its last release will work for you, they have a Frame Capture Demo that should be a good starting point.

If you are sticking with JMF, perhaps Accessing Individual Decoded Video Frames will point you in the right direction with its info on using a pass-through codec. Note that you'll need to search for a copy of FrameAccess.java if you want the demo code for this option (the link seems to be broken on that page).
