3               holder = mPreview.getHolder();
4               holder.addCallback(this);
5               holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
6               mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
7               mMediaPlayer.setDisplay(holder);
8               mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(path);
9               mMediaPlayer.prepare();
10              mMediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this);
11              mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this);
12              mMediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
13              mMediaPlayer.setOnVideoSizeChangedListener(this);
14              mMediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

Here is a list of supported media codecs for Android. MJPEG is not on the list.

Also, if you examine LogCat (via adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse), you may find some warnings or errors.
