I've encounter this problem many times , the problem is that I've a videoView in my application but it couldn't play lots of different formats and video files.

for example , if I want to open a mp4 file, I should ask my users to convert the video to a H.264 format and then upload the file and it's very hard.

I'm looking for a better way to play various formats of videos .

Does any one no any way to do so ? have can I do that ?
