[android-developers] Re: VideoView won't display video for some videos in the beta SDK

[Megha Joshi]

Hi Cheryl,

Thanks for the link...I get the following error in logcat on playing your
video:

W/PlayerDriver(   25): Video cannot catch up. Are you playing a high quality
content?
E/MediaPlayer(18559): Error (44,0)
D/VideoView(18559): Error: 44,0

which gives you the reason why its failing. To elaborate...the quality of
the video that you tried to play it too high (it's 640x426, 30fps). Android
only supports H.264 Base profile HVGA 30fps 600Kbps video bitstream. That's
why you are seeing the error 44 which means that the video failed to catch
up with the audio and it's more than 120 frames dropped.
