Old topic, but stumbling around today brought up a gstreamer-java repo on GitHub. It's a few years old. But lately there are fresh gst1-java and gst1-java-fx projects there. As in updated 11 days ago. It would be interesting to try out the examples and see if they can accept other movie formats. But it looks like the documentation is sparse to none.
Another alternative is to use ffmpeg or handbrake to remux the videos into another container format.
