Android : Can I Play Video As A Raw Resource?

I'm writing a program which requires that a video be packaged with it. The only way I know of doing this is by adding the video to res/ raw/, which coincidentally renders the video useless. I've looked all over the web and the consensus seems to be you can only play streaming video, or video from a file. In the emulator if I attempt to play the video through the method used here ( http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html ), all I get is audio and a black screen. I've attempted to use VideoView as well, and the same thing occurs, audio but with a black screen. There must be a way to package video with your application without needing an SD card, or having to stream the file and have the video actually play. In the words of Google, I would like to create a "seamless" experience.
