Did you try the smartphone version?  What phone do you use?  I've
always used the ARM cabs since I have a Dell PPC.  If you really want
to use the stock player then I would try msmpeg4 or wmv2 for the video
codec.  MP3 should be fine for audio.

The video codecs supported for lavc are:
 vcodec=
              Employ the specified codec (default: mpeg4).
                 mjpeg
                      Motion JPEG
                 ljpeg
                      Lossless JPEG
                 h263
                      H.263
                 h263p
                      H.263+
                 mpeg4
                      MPEG-4 (DivX 4/5)
                 msmpeg4
                      DivX 3
                 msmpeg4v2
                      MS MPEG4v2
                 wmv1
                      Windows Media Video, version 1 (AKA WMV7)
                 wmv2
                      Windows Media Video, version 2 (AKA WMV8)
                 rv10
                      an old RealVideo codec
                 mpeg1video
                      MPEG-1 video
                 mpeg2video
                      MPEG-2 video
                 huffyuv

                      ASUS Video v2
                 ffv1
                      FFmpeg's lossless video codec
