[android-developers] Re: MP4 video not working on Google Nexus One
Moreover, MP4 is not really a video format. If a file has an mp4 extension, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a MP4 format. So, looking at the actual format/encoding will help you to figure out if a video will play on a device or not. As Doug suggested, some device manufacturers go out of the way to support additional formats. But, ideally, if you are using any videos for your apps, you should be better off using the core video formats so that they would play on all devices. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: MP4 video not working on Google Nexus One
Device manufacturers are free to extend the media support for their particular distribution of Android beyond what is normally supported by the core version of Android distributed by Google (like on the Nexus One). We know for a fact that Samsung does this since their devices support AVI and DivX which is not part of the media support declared by Android. If you are going to distribute media for all Android devices, it needs to be in a format that is supported by core Android and not depend on manufacturer extensions.

It works well on HTC however Google Nexus One throws error of Video Format not supported The client can play normal mp4 videos on his mobile. Any pointers/directions on if there needs to be additional permission settings in the app or the video format need to be different ?
