JMF is old and never received much love from Sun or Oracle. It never worked properly, and never will because Java 8 includes JavaFX, which is the future of multi-media GUIs in Java.
I would recommend you forget JMF and look at JavaFX - there's lots of stuff on the web, but check the dates because there were earlier versions of JavaFX that were quite different. You need the Java 8 (2014) version.

I'm no expert in video, but I'm sure others will be able to help. Just Google for tutorials.

If you want to record video from a webcam you can use this If you want to record the user's monitor, you can use the Robot class or use JNI with a DLL for lower level recording (offers better speed). You can also use JNA to record the screen with OS APIs which might be easier.

As part of a First Robotics project (FRC) I placed a live video feed from a web cam mounted to a servo inside of a swing application (without recording the video). This was done using the SmartDashboard. It's all open source, so you might be able to grab the code and find what you need.

I have never done video capture, but it's supported in JavaFX 8; you can watch a video here. Jump to minute 39 to see video capture.

For learning JavaFX, I found the Oracle tutorials helpful.
I also read a few chapter of Pro Java FX 2, which I managed to get my local library to purchase.
