One of the easy way is to load that video url into a UIWebview.

try this:

  {

      NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"//name of your video here" ofType:@"//format e.g. mp4, m4v"]];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *playerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:playerController];

playerController.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;

[playerController.moviePlayer play];


// When movie finished loading you can have a notification and do extra code
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(MovieDidLoad:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:nil];



[playerController release];

playerController = nil;
  }


  -(void)MovieDidLoad:(NSNotification *)notification {

  NSLog(@"logged and notification is %@", notification);

 // extra code if needed


   }

moviePlayer.contentURL = urlVideo;

[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
[moviePlayer play];
