java + video clip

[TIM_M_91]

Hi guys well what I want to do is play a video clip when my program starts. My menu has been set up to how I want it to look. I've researched how to do this but I cannot seem to find anything that I want. All I find is how to create a video player where the user can select their own videos. This is not what I want to do. All I want is my program too play a video clip on start up.

Any help or links you can give would be appreciated

My code below:

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.ButtonGroup;
import javax.swing.JCheckBoxMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JMenu;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JRadioButtonMenuItem;

public class Basicgui extends JFrame {
    
    public Basicgui() {
        
        setTitle("Video Play Simulation");
        setSize(600, 500);
        
        // Creates a menubar for a JFrame
        JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
        
        // Add the menubar to the frame
        setJMenuBar(menuBar);
        
        // Define and add two drop down menu to the menubar
        JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
        JMenu editMenu = new JMenu("Edit");
        JMenu viewMenu = new JMenu("view");
        menuBar.add(fileMenu);
        menuBar.add(editMenu);
        menuBar.add(viewMenu);
        JMenuItem EXITAction = new JMenuItem("EXIT");
        JMenuItem updateAction = new JMenuItem("update Videos");
        JMenuItem playlistAction = new JMenuItem("Create Playlist");
        JMenuItem queryAction = new JMenuItem("view directors");
        JMenuItem videosAction = new JMenuItem("Check Videos");
        fileMenu.add(EXITAction);
        fileMenu.add(videosAction);
        editMenu.add(updateAction);
        editMenu.add(playlistAction);
        viewMenu.add(videosAction);
        viewMenu.add(queryAction);
        
        ////////////// COLOURS ///////////////////
        
        
         menuBar.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
         fileMenu.setForeground(Color.red);
           editMenu.setForeground(Color.red);
             viewMenu.setForeground(Color.red);
             
               EXITAction.setForeground(Color.red);
               updateAction.setForeground(Color.red);
               playlistAction.setForeground(Color.red);
               queryAction.setForeground(Color.red);
               videosAction.setForeground(Color.red);
               
               //////// BACKGROUNDS //////////
               
               EXITAction.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
               updateAction.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
               playlistAction.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
               queryAction.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
               videosAction.setBackground(Color.BLACK);  
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Basicgui me = new Basicgui();
        me.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        me.setVisible(true);
        me.setBackground(Color.BLACK);  
    }
}

These links should prove useful to you:

Note that I've provided the link to the sound tutorial since the user may want to change the volume of audio output too. For the rest, have a look at the first link, and best of luck! :)

so what is my problem with the code?
