I don't know a complete answer, but part of that is you not providing the needed details of "how" and "what" you're after. ffmpeg is the underlying code powering programs like VLC (VideoLAN Client) and MPlayer on desktop and laptop systems. It supports a lot of different formats, both video and audio. There are a few porting attempts for VLC and MPlayer to Android available, but I haven't tested any of them. There is also a porting effort for ffmpeg itself: https://github.com/appunite/AndroidFFmpeg https://github.com/appunite/AndroidFFmpeg It should be a step in the right direction, but providing details on how you expect to use it and what you want it to do should help others respond with better answers than mine.
