Video. Use VideoView / MediaPlayer, or intention. Capturing and selecting a user?

Question

Forgive me if this is a newbie question, but ...

When playing a video, is it better to use VideoView / MediaPlayer or is it better to use aim.ACTION_VIEW and let the user select their media player?

The videos I need to play are very large mp4 files (20 mega - 50+ megabytes) that are not optimized for mobile devices. I'm having buffering issues when using VideoView / MediaPlayer. However, when I use aim.ACTION_VIEW, I can use something like RealPlayer, which handles buffering better (at least in my case). In addition, RealPlayer and other players I tried to deal with orientation changes without restarting the video, like VideoView / MediaPlayer. However, I do not know if this second approach is "acceptable" from the point of view of the user.

Here is the code for my VideoView / MediaPlayer approach:

XML:

<VideoView android:id="@+id/videoView"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

Java:

public class VideoViewActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
        MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
        mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
        Uri video = Uri.parse("http://www.my.big.video.com/video.mp4");
        videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
        videoView.setVideoURI(video);
        videoView.start();
}

And here is the code for my second approach:

Java:

public class VideoViewActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        String videoUrl = "http://www.my.big.video.com/video.mp4";
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);  
        i.setData(Uri.parse(videoUrl));  
        startActivity(i); 
}

Suggestions?
