Answer 1

My guess is that the Video Live Wallpaper currently in circulation is using a totally different approach: decoding the media manually and drawing it frame by frame. I do not think this problem can be tackled using your simple method--otherwise more people would have already done it.

I assume you have this reference, but just in case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804720 The explicit mention of differing video formats leads me to believe the developer is doing his own decoding... Good luck, George
