Thanks again for the reply. I actually subscribed to your books - they are well written. I downloaded the video sample and tried to run it but the screen remains blank. However I suspect it is becuase it cannot find the file. It seems like it is designed run the file "test.mp4" on an SD card on a real device.
Can I make the sample work on the emulator. I just to see if the problem is really the emulator or something on in my program. I was hoping I could try out your sample to prove this.
