This is not a bug. The Java runtime you have simply does not include the 
codecs needed to render the video within XMLmind XML Editor (or any 
other Java application).

Workarounds:

* Simply ignore the error message.

OR

* Re-encode the video to MP4 video with MP3 audio.

OR

* Specify several videos files, each having a different format. Make 
sure the first in the list is one supported by Java runtime.

Example (excerpts from "XMLmind XML Editor - DITA Support", 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dita/media.html)
---
      <object data="media/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
         <param name="source"
                type="video/ogg; codecs=&quot;theora, vorbis&quot;"
                value="media/video.ogv" valuetype="ref"/>

         <param name="source" type="video/webm" value="media/video.webm"
                valuetype="ref"/>

         <param name="width" value="320"/>

         <param name="controls" value="yes"/>

         <param name="poster" value="media/video_poster.jpg" 
valuetype="ref"/>
       </object>

Notes:

It is strongly recommended to specify alternate video files as modern 
web browsers, while all supporting the HTML 5 <video> element, vary in 
their support of video formats. This is done by adding <param> child 
elements to the <object> element. Such <param> elements must have a 
name="source" attribute, a valuetype="ref" attribute, a @value attribute 
referencing a video file and preferably, a @type attribute specifying 
the media type of the video file.

Our media player dialog box supports this feature and makes it very easy 
to use. See "Using the media player dialog box",

That's normal. Unlike the Java runtime you use to run XMLmind XML 
Editor, a web browser includes a lot of video codecs, inclusing MP4 with 
AAC audio.

No, not at all
