Of course. That is what your users want.

It does work.
The ratio of 480 to 320 is 3:2. The ratio of 800 to 480 is 5:3. You
cannot fill a 5:3 screen with a 3:2 video and maintain the original
aspect ratio. Hence, VideoView will expand the video (maintaining
aspect ratio) until it runs out of room on one axis.
