(from [11f5e27c2df7f89740aa4c95a41845f3f65a8efe]) don't compress certain image/audio/video types in the final APK. Apparently Android can't decompress them correctly

I am able to reproduce this issue. This is regression, works fine on SDK: 3.1.3.GA Steps to reproduce: 1. Run the app below.

   var _window = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	backgroundColor:'white'
   }); 
   var activeMovie1 = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
   			sourceType : Ti.Media.VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE_FILE,
   			url : 'movie.mp4',
   			//backgroundColor : '#000',
   			scalingMode : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FIT,
   			movieControlStyle : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_NONE
   		});
   
   
   
   		var activeMovie2 = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
   			sourceType : Ti.Media.VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE_FILE,
   			url : 'movie.mp4',
   			//backgroundColor : '#000',
   			scalingMode : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FIT,
   			mediaControlStyle : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_NONE
   		});
   
   		_window.add(activeMovie2);
   		
   _window.open();

Paste movie.mp4 under Resources folder. Expected: Movie should play when running the app. Actual: Movie does not play, Logs are attached.
