[android-developers] Re: MP4 video not working on Google Nexus One

Device manufacturers are free to extend the media support for their
particular distribution of Android beyond what is normally supported
by the core version of Android distributed by Google (like on the
Nexus One). We know for a fact that Samsung does this since their
devices support AVI and DivX which is not part of the media support
declared by Android.

If you are going to distribute media for all Android devices, it needs
to be in a format that is supported by core Android and not depend on
manufacturer extensions.
