In iOS How to capture frames from a video file as stream of UIImages?

I am interested in reading Video file as a series of UIImages on iOS. Is there anyway to do that using AVFoundation APIs.

Create an AVAssetReader with the video track of the file. With an AVAssetReaderTrackOutput, you can send it the copyNextSampleBuffer message to receive a CMSampleBuffer. Each call will produce another frame from the video.

Inside the AVFoundation Programming Guide there is sample code showing how to set up an AVAssetReader as well as a method for making the conversion from CMSampleBuffer to UIImage.
