I wouldn't bother trying to split up the video content. MediaPlayers should have no problem streaming the data from the file just like it can stream from a url.
I've never done it before, but make sure you are using the API correctly. Read: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html Call prepare() before start(). Also, notice how you can specify a file descriptor directly: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#setDataSource(java.io.FileDescriptor,%20long,%20long) It is pretty annoying answering questions for outsourced developers, seeing as we're losing jobs to much less competent people.
