I can't get video screenshots in iOS5 using AVAssetImageGenerator

I need to get screenshots from a video.

I'm using the following method:

- (UIImage *)screenshotFromPlayerItem:(AVPlayerItem *)player atTime:(CMTime)time
{
    CMTime actualTime;
    NSError *error;

    AVAssetImageGenerator *generator = [[AVAssetImageGenerator alloc] initWithAsset:player.asset];

     CGImageRef cgIm = [generator copyCGImageAtTime:time
                                    actualTime:&actualTime
                                         error:&error];
     UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgIm];

    if (nil != error)
   {
       NSLog(@"Error making screenshot: %@", [error localizedDescription]);
       return nil;
   }

    CFRelease(cgIm);

   return image;
}

In iOS6 it works perfect. But if i test on a device (iPhone and an iPad) with iOS5 i get the following message: "Error making screenshot: Cannot Decode"

The video is mp4.

Any solution?
