You can get a video frame with MediaMetadataRetriever. The basic usage is as follows.
MediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
// Set data source to retriever.
// From your code, you might want to use your 'String path' here.
retriever.setDataSource(yourPath);
// Get a frame in Bitmap by specifying time.
// Be aware that the parameter must be in "microseconds", not milliseconds.
Bitmap bitmap = retriever.getFrameAtTime(timeInMicroSeconds);
// Do something with your bitmap.
You might want to use FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever for better performance.

I too have searched the same for some days and finally i came across opencv library through that we can able to read the frames from a live video and do the operations accordingly.
I have did successfully and keeping the project in github for your reference.

The problem might be with the video encoding. Android Froyo and Gingerbread doesn't support H264 formats other than "Baseline" H264. So if your video is Mp4 & H264 encoded make sure its "AVC baseline" encoded. Use some tools like "Media info" in windows/Linux and check your video encoding. Convert the video to Baseline if possible.
An alternative workaround is to skip the Videoview and use a video play intent and redirect the playback to an app. User will be prompted to pick a player to handle the playback. Obviously if the video view cant play the file, the default player also wont be able to handle the file. you can choose some other installed player like Mx-Player which will stream the file perfectly.
Hope that solved your issue.

Try correct video url with protocol: http://www.ooklnet.com/files/368/368007/video.mp4

You don't call your run() method anywhere. You shuld rather create a thread with this method:
private Thread thread = new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {//...
}
}
};
And start this thread in a method of your choice, for examplre, startRecording(). Don't forget to interupt() it. And also, you'd better add a check a flag in you infinite while loop.

but I do not get the progress bar here. all I get is the the video directly.
All help is appreciated.

Instead of dismissing the progress dialog in runOnUiThread, dismiss it in the onPreparedListener:
mVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer arg0) {
dialog.dismiss();
mVideoView.start();
}
});
runOnUiThread is called right away, therefore dimissing the dialog before it can be seen. This code will keep it going until the video is ready to start.

you should use an AsyncTask to do that. have a look on this page. it gives you detailed information on how to do what you want.

You'll have to move away from the synchronous MediaPlayer calls to do this. The MediaPlayer has series of player state change callbacks such as onPreparedListener which you'll need to make use of to determine when to display your dialog.
What you are experiencing is due to the fact that, although you are putting work to the uiThread, you are basically putting all your work to the uiThread.
The call:
mVideoView.setVideoPath(getDataSource(path));
is going on the uiThread (seemingly). You need to use the async listeners to avoid having to build those facilities for yourself.
