MediaException: Unable to realize

Question

I'm trying to play a video file after from a byte input stream. However, I receive the exception, "Unable to realize". I've searched online for possible reasons but have found nothing. Pls find code below.
public class Test2 extends MIDlet{
    public void startApp() {
        try{
            InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("fire.mpg");
            byte[] data;
            int ch;
            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            while ((ch = in.read()) != -1) {
                baos.write((byte)ch);
            data = baos.toByteArray();
            RecordStore MEFolder= RecordStore.openRecordStore("MEmDNS Folder", true);
            int recID = MEFolder.addRecord(data, 0, data.length);
            InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(MEFolder.getRecord(recID));
            Player p = Manager.createPlayer(is, "video/mpg");
            p.realize();
            VideoControl video = (VideoControl) p.getControl("VideoControl");          
            Item videoItem = (Item)video.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, null);
            Form videoForm = new Form("VideoForm");
            videoForm.append(videoItem);
            p.start();       
        }catch(IOException e){
            System.out.println("ioexception caught" + e);
        }catch(RecordStoreException e){
            System.out.println("recstoreexp caught" + e);
        }catch(MediaException e){
            System.out.println("mediaexep caught "  + e);
    public void pauseApp() {}
    public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {}
}Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
did you try to move the p.realize() command just before the call to p.start() ?
It might solve the problem.
