I am recording audio on the android device and it will play on the device but not on the computer. I feel like its something to do with the path I give it. In the path I specify a file extension. I have tried no extension and .3gp(with the appropriate output format set) but it wont play on the computer. Can anyone shed some light on this?

VLC gives the following error

No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format “samr”. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

// Set up sound recording
    recorder = new MediaRecorder();
    path = "/sdcard/prism/sound/";

    // Make sure the directory we plan to store the recording in exists
    directory = new File(path);
    directory.mkdirs();

    recorder.reset();

    recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
    recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
    recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.DEFAULT);
    recorder.setOutputFile(path + username + "_" + taskId + ".mpeg4");// + ".mp3");

    //Sometime later after button presses recorder.prepare() and recorder.start() are called
    // then after stop is pressed recorder.stop() and recorder.release() are called
