It has something to do with your link and content. Try the following two links:
String path="http://www.ted.com/talks/download/video/8584/talk/761";
String path1="http://commonsware.com/misc/test2.3gp";
Uri uri=Uri.parse(path1);
VideoView video=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoView01);
video.setVideoURI(uri);
video.start();
Start with “path1”, it is a small light weight video stream and then try the “path”, it is a higher resolution than “path1”, a perfect high resolution for the mobile phone.
