Playing a video in Java Swing

Question

I am doing a project on Video steganography. I thought of playing the 2 video files in Java Swing to make the comparision of files easier. So i want to know if we can play a video in Swing? Please help me out!!

You might want to take a look at the Java Media Framework. A better alternative is probably using JavaFX. See SimpleVideoPlayer for an example.

Edit: You might also want to look at vlcj. It allows to embed a VLC player into a Swing java application.
