thanks for the reply but  none seems to resolve my problem, from the link you suggested

Hossein's solution
didnt work because when decompiling the .apk , you get error message saying cannot decompile apk

after downloading it , i cant even get it to start working on my window8 machine

Another solution using Google Drive and a Google Spreadsheet you can find here.
i believe this will require the app to connect to the internet and fetch those files, so didn't even try this at all because my targeted users are my students who only few can pay for internet subscription

i guess i didnt explain my problem in details , this is what i want to achieve

1.create an app that is made up of several videos ( about 100mb total)
2. i dont want the videos saved outside the app because other video players like  vlc can search and play media files on phone/SD card
3. the videos should only be accessible through my app

some ideas ( still thinking )

1. save the videos on the sd card with some special/unique names so that when the app starts , it will search for those videos with that unique name, move them into the app asset folder making them accessible by the app only

2.rename the file extension for example  change myvideo.mp4 to myvideo.kkk  then save then on the sd card, tell my my app to read that unknown file as mp4 video and play it

i dont know if my goal is achievable in app inventor

for problems with AppToMarket or AiLiveComplete, please ask in the AppToMarket forum https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/apptomarket

for problems with AI2U, please ask in the AI2U forum https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ai2u

I think the maximum app size with one of these solutions is around 50 MB.
