Video Player in J2ME

 In this tutorial we will learn how to create a simple Video player in J2ME.
Instead of creating a brand new code lets reuse the code we made in previous tutorial "J2MEAudioPlayer".             
Click here to go to previous tutorial.
However i found 1 limitation that the video length should be limited if we are viewing it offline(not directly from internet but saved video).So in this case i have reduced number of videos to 2 .You may increase the count if your SDK supports it or videos are less than 150 kb.
Download these sample videos to src folder of your project.
1.mpg 
2.mpg
