Absolutely not! Java should not have its "own" video format -= that's just plain dumb. There are already too many formats out there. Java should support (relatively) open formats out of the box and integrate with the native formats on whatever system it is running on. Java should support MPEG4, and MP3 on all systems - maybe OGG but nobody uses it so it doesn't matter. Quicktime on Mac (and maybe Windows), Windows Media (or anything that can be rendered via DirectShow) on Windows, etc. Basically The Java Media Framework needs to be finished and cleaned up.
