you need to recompress the video as the current compression is incorrect:

  • H.264 Main Profile Level 4.0 video

here is a guidance form Apple:

  • H.264 Baseline Profile Level 3.0 video, up to 640 x 480 at 30 fps. (The Baseline profile does not support B frames.)
  • MPEG-4 Part 2 video (Simple Profile)

the audio might need to be changed according to:

(...) this class supports AAC-LC audio at up to 48 kHz, and MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) up to 48 kHz, stereo audio.

for MPMoviePlayerController (Class Reference in Apple's Documentation).

You should use AVPlayer and AVPlayerViewController instead. Follow this simple guide in order to play videos natively in your app:
