Live video streaming using Java

Question

Are there any good libraries for streaming live video using Java  Ideally both ends of the pipe should be written in Java but I am mostly concerned about the video player  What software would you recommend   UPDATE  It seems that VLC introduces a 1-2 second delay  I need video streaming that is truly live  The record-to-playback delay must be under 300ms

The best video playback encoding library I have ever seen is ffmpeg  It plays everything you throw at it   It is used by MPlayer   It is written in C but I found some Java wrappers    FFMPEG-Java  A Java wrapper around ffmpeg using JNA  jffmpeg  This one integrates to JMF
