[android-developers] Android Video Spec.

Hi, all

I am undergoing a project which uses Android(ver. 1.6 and 2.0) to test
video quality. When achieving this, I would use Android's internal
video codec to decode the test sequences(video clips) which are all
encoded using H.264/AVC video codec and capsulated into MP4
container(which is said to be supported by Android). But whichever
encoding profile I tried, I couldn't get my sequences played in
Android. I have searched around this group and Beginner's group, as
well as Android developers' site, but no valuable output has been
found. I would admit that Android's documentation on video/audio codec
is poor, but now I would first fix my problem.

To be specific, I am looking for the following information:

1. In which profile(baseline, main, high) does Android support? I read
someone said it(here the guy referred to G1) only supports to baseline
which would be sad if true.
2. In which resolution does Android support?
3. In which level(2.1, 3.1, 4.1, where the insiders should know what I
am referring) does Android support?
4. Up to how many bitrates(Average bitrate, Max bitrate) is Android be
able to handle?
5. Are there any other constraints(ex. weightp support? framerate
upperbound?) besides the above?

The hardware I used is Logic's Zoom2 MDP which is based on TI's
OMAP3430 Processor, I ported Android 1.6 on it and with TI's hardware
accelerated DSP library(OpenMAX) on it. The software I wrote is simply
using the android.media.MediaPlayer class to handle video loading and
playing.
