Current State of JMF
What is the current state of Java Media Framework?
Is it worth to make serious projects on Java Media Framework (streaming, conference)?
Some code of JMF is out of date. And I think much part of the code will need to be rewritten because JMF is not really suitable for low-latency applications.

Just because JMF stopped being supported,
does not mean it stopped working.

JMF could do that as soon as it came out,
and Swing appeared.
* video - it surprises me that posters here use
generic terms such as 'video', rather than recognise
that (any) media frameworks support a subset
of formats and codecs, and therefore being a
little more specific.
E.G. We need to display "H.263 Mov's with a
mu-law soundtrack".
Ultimately, it is support for later codec's and
formats in which JMF is lacking.
If OTOH the deployer can control the media
types, or the core JMF can already handle the
media types of interest, it can work 'out of the box'.
So to answer your original question
'what do people use now..?'
My answer is 'JMF', possibly with add-ons
to increase its functionality for particular
media types of interest (e.g. the 'tritonis'(?)
plug-in for MP3 encoding, or FMJ).
