VideoView and Mediaplayer can play only formats given in the document Android Supported Media Formats.

The link of the YouTube video you gave is for an HTML page. If you are playing an HTML page as mentioned by Karthik, it is better to use Webview.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));

If you want only the video to be viewed from that link, leave all other details in the page. Suppose this is the YouTube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC7ZOGpM2cU&feature=g-logo&context=G233b464FOAAAAAAABAA

If you parse the source of the YouTube HTML page, you may see this portion:
