Play A Video in JFrame

[Godslug]

Hey everyone, I recently decided to make a text adventure for a Sci-Fi General Elective final project. To introduce the player (my teacher) to the plot, I wanted to create a short video rather than have him read a few paragraphs of text. The issue is, I can't figure out how to play the video in Java. Most of the links google brought me to all discussed how to create an actual media player. All I want is to simply have about a 1 minute video (format doesn't matter I can always convert to the easiest format to use) play in JFrame before the player is brought to the "main menu".

JavaFX has the capability to show video, but supports only a few specific formats'codecs.
