This has been driving me crazy as well. I did find the following reference in the docs for the MediaPlayer, which mentions the symptom above...:
public void setDisplay (SurfaceHolder sh) Sets the SurfaceHolder to use for displaying the video portion of the media. This call is optional. Not calling it when playing back a video will result in only the audio track being played. Parameters sh the SurfaceHolder to use for video display I haven't been able to get it to work yet, either. I can't believe that a video can't be played from a raw resource, but have failed to find any examples of anyone doing so.
