I can play a video from a local directory just fine.  I am using a
video podcast intended for the iPhone and I put it in an sdcard image
and accessed it at "/sdcard/myVideos/TheVideoPodcast.m4v"

Then use VideoView in your layout XML and set its URI programatically
in your activity:

        VideoView vv = (VideoView)
findViewById(R.id.video_playback_screen);
        vv.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(videoFile));
        vv.requestFocus();

Hope that helps.
