I’m sure the problem is here :

10-05 12:45:40.953: ERROR/AVCDecoder(8773): Video resolution too high, reject it

Is there any way to change resolution of a surfaceview,mediaplayer or something like that in android ?

Answer 1

Unfortunately the error you are getting is not something that can be resolved in the application, nor is it an limitation from the application.

This restriction is from the Hardware acclerated Video codec itself (AVCDecoder in your case). The resolution that you trying to play is too high for that particular codec.

You have also mentioned that one particular clip of the same resolution plays, you will need to verify if it is of the same codec. My guess is, it is not the same codec.
