We've been given a video ad for display on Android phones. Unfortunately when we give it to one of the ad networks they send us the error back :

Error Message:

03-28 19:16:08.560: E/MediaPlayer(19343): error (1, -1007)

I can play the video on Mac/Windows through VLC with no problem. Can anyone help decipher the error message and let me know what it doesn't like?

It turns out Android tries to read your video but fails, because of some container parsing/decoding issues.

Here is the complete list of media formats that Android supports for each version.

You might want to reencode/recopy your video file in one of the supported formats/codecs. I personnaly use Handbrake which might be able to transcode your video to a fair amount of outputs. Also, he comes with some handy presets for Android phones.
