Really? The very class you were trying to reach has an <intent-filter> on
the video/mp4 MIME type, according to the Android source code. If you
tried it a couple of Android versions ago, give it a fresh shot -- the
behavior might have changed, and perhaps you can switch to the new Intent
starting with SDK_INT 6.

If needed, it's really not all that tough. I have one here with pop-up
control panels based on touch events, a custom timeline with play/pause
control, and so on:

Note, though, that I haven't tried this on 2.0.1 yet. The core Android
team *yet again* released an update when I'm on the road...
