Project Fobs discontinued. After 4 years without being able to push any updates I realize it is time to discontinue the development of Fobs. It has been a while since I stopped working with video files and I can't really justify investing more time in this project. Not to mention the difficulty to keep track of ffmpeg API changes or the badly ageing JMF.
It was a fantastic and fun experience. I got to meet great new people and was glad that my effort helped them in their lives.
For the brave ones, find here a patch that Dmitrij K. sent me some months ago to compile Fobs with the latest release of ffmpeg.
Farewell, dear users!

Overview
Try FOBS, the C++ & JMF wrapper for ffmpeg.
Omnividea Multimedia and the computer vision group at UPM-DISAM present FOBS: Ffmpeg OBjectS. FOBS is a set of object oriented APIs to deal with media. It relies in the ffmpeg library, but provides developers with a much simpler programming interface.
FOBS is currently available in C++. The Java side (Fobs4JMF) has been implemented as a JMF plugin that allows to use JMStudio as a Java Media Jukebox to play the most common formats and codecs (ogg, mp3, m4a, divx, xvid, h264, mov, avi, etc). Binaries for this enhanced version of JMStudio are available at the downloads section for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. Developers can use the same binaries to include support for many more formats & codecs into their own JMF applications without changing a line of code!

Some binary distributions include an incorrect jmf.properties file.
Download this new jmf.properties file if you don't get Fobs parsing by default. My apologies for any inconvenience.
