please help me with this error.i am using windows vista OS.

can anyone suggest me how to store files in .3gp format?please help

Answer 1

By looking at the private void startCapture() method I guess the processor variable is NULL as this is the only stuff that is not in a try-catch block.

Answer 2

It looks as though this line:

processor = Manager.createRealizedProcessor(pm);

Throws a CannotRealizeException, causing processor to be null and leading to the NPE later on. As for what that exception is thrown, that seems to have to do with your data and use of the JMF.

Generally, it's bad to use System.out.println() on exceptions because then you lose the stack trace, which is often the most important information for debugging. Instead. use exception.printStackTrace();
