Out of interest what did you do to solve this. We are looking to do the same thing and are totally new to AR and opengl? Thanks, Bob

I just integrated the SDK's API demo example(video play) source code in imagetargets example... Regards Rassall

So you used Video View Demo from the Android API examples? I'm trying to do the same but the VideoView seems to be getting hidden behind the camera view. I understand there no way to change z-indexes of surfaceviews. How did you get around this?

It's probably best to play your video in a separate Activity. The downside is that you will lose your OpenGL context when the AR Activity is paused, so once the video is over you'll have to reload your textures, VBOs, etc.
