opening external video file

I was wanting to know if it is possible to open an external video using java code. I am not wanting to open the video inside my jframe but just locate the file and make it play.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you have a some sort of a media player which accept the media file to play as a command line parameter then you can use that with Runtime.exec.

Also in windows 2000 and later versions you can play a media using its associated player by typing its file name in the console. You can make use of this with Runtime.exec.

Both of these approaches are platform dependant.

If you want a cross platform video playing capability take a look at JMF or JVLC
