import javax.microedition.media.*;
import javax.microedition.media.control.VideoControl;

public class p2 extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {
    
    private Form form;
    public void startApp() {
        
        if (form == null) 
        {
               form = new Form("Content types and protocols");
        
                Command exitCommand = new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 0);
 
                form.addCommand(exitCommand);
                form.setCommandListener(this);

                
          }
        try
        {
        String url = "http://today.java.net/today/2005/09/27/promo.mpg";
        Player p = Manager.createPlayer(url);
        p.realize();

        //Get the video controller
        VideoControl video = (VideoControl) p.getControl("VideoControl");

        //Get a GUI to display the video
        Item videoItem = (Item)video.initDisplayMode(
        VideoControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, null);

        //Append the GUI to a form
        form.append(videoItem);

        //Start the video
        p.start();
      }
       catch(Exception e)
       {}
        
          Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(form);
          
     }
    
    
    public void pauseApp() 
    {
    }
    
    public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) 
    {
    }
    
    public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s)
