Are there size limits for movies for the android app?

I understand that a movie can be placed in the apps. Are there size limits, and what format would be best? Thanks

Hi David, Movies are streamed from a URL (the web) so there are no size limits necessariy. However, really really long movies tend to bog down the experience. Aside from Netflix, I can't think of any successful app's that have long formats. It must be our generations short attention span! It seems that most folks are slicing up their videos into smaller, more manageable parts then using menu items to lead to each clip or section. Format: Lots to choose from, I would start with h.264 but you could always experiement. Android's pretty good at figuring out how to optimize whatever format you're using.
