[android-developers] problem playing back .mp4

2010-04-23 Thread Abhi
I am having trouble playing back a .mp4 video. I can only hear audio
in the background and the phone hangs until the video (or should I say
audio) completes, nothing works during this time, Menu button, Home
button, Back button, nothing.

Is that a problem playing mp4 files? I thought Android does .mp4 and .
3gp.

Thanks,

Abhi

Devices can play back local MP4 and 3GP videos usually without incident,
and streaming videos work too, so long as they are properly hinted.

The emulator does not play back videos well, based on my experience, due
to performance issues.
