I dont think you can place the video file in the raw folder. since there is a limit of data that you can have in your raw folder.
try pushing it to the /sdcard/videofilename and add permissions for read_owner_data, write_owner_data, write_external_storage. I assume you know the procedure to push files to sdcard.
