Media Exception "Error Media Creation"

Question

I have just started learning JavaFX and I am trying to create a very simple Video Player. This is the code :
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Group root = new Group();
Media media = new Media("file:C:/Users/Hekaton/Desktop/commercial.mp4");
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(media);
MediaView view = new MediaView(player);
root.getChildren().add(view);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 400);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
player.play();
A very simple player, however I encounter this Exception when the Stage loads : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: "Error media creation". The exception seems to happen at this line "Media player = new MediaPlayer(media);".
Can anybody help me with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi. You have two problems here:
1. Mp4 is not a supported format. Take a look at the Supported Media Codecs:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/media/overview.htm
2.     Wrong file protocol:
Media media = new Media("file:///c://Users//Hekaton//Desktop//commercial.mp4");
