Try this :

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="5dip" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/mSDCardbutton"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:text="@string/play_sdcard" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/mServerbutton"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:text="@string/play_server" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/mRawbutton"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:text="@string/play_raw" />
</LinearLayout>

<Button
    android:id="@+id/mbutton"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/button" />

<VideoView
    android:id="@+id/VideoView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center" />

</LinearLayout>

In this layout, buttons are at top.You can keep it at bottom. Hope this helps.
