Why does the Android app say “Cannot play video” after playback?

I have a simple application that starts with a splash screen activity that plays mp4 video in VideoView. When the video is completed, I try to start a new action using the OnCompletionListener.

When I launch the application, the video works fine; playing both sound and sound as expected. As soon as the video ends, the application displays a dialog with the heading “Unable to play video” and continues normally as soon as the “OK” button is pressed. The problem only occurs when I added audio to mp4, which I created using Adobe After Effects. I used the same video minus the audio track, and it does not throw this error. I assume that the encoding of the file is fine, as it reproduces completely before showing the dialog.

Here is my code:

public class Splash extends Activity {


 @Override  
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  

     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     setContentView(R.layout.splash);

     Uri video = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.audio_intro); 

     VideoView videoview = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.splash_view);
     videoview.setKeepScreenOn(true);  
     videoview.setVideoURI(video);

     videoview.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {  
           public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {  
                 Intent intent = new Intent(Splash.this, Menu.class);
                 startActivity(intent);
                 finish();
           }
     });

     videoview.requestFocus();
     videoview.start();
 }

}

Here, what LogCat shows:

I hope someone can help me, as I have tried several things to solve this problem and it seems that I cannot find a similar problem that is mentioned / solved anywhere. Thank.
