WOW. Thanks Mark for the links and explanation. Was wondering why the same movie that I have on the SD card plays fine, but when I put it on a website and accessed over http:// I get "This video can not be played". I'm sorry Android Devs, but this is very disappointing. Playing a video via http:// should be brain dead simple, and alas with Android, as compared to other platforms, it is not. Sounds like any video I (or my clients) create, needs to have -hint associated with it and must be run through MP4Box or some other program to it can be played when served over http? Bummer, as other platforms (iPhone) just play these video right out of the box. What gives on Android? that the iPhone SDK is able to do, or is there some other work around that I'm missing?
