Is it possible to play 2 video file simultaneously in the same view?

Question

Is it possible to play 2 video files simultaneously in the same view?

I want to do have them both playing over half the screen, a little like this:

 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 
|                   |
|                   |
|       VIDEO       |
|                   |
|_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _|
|                   |
|                   |
|      VIDEO        | 
|                   |
|_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _|

How would I go about accomplishing this?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

apple's document said:

Although you may create multiple MPMoviePlayerController objects and present their views in your interface, only one movie player at a time may play its movie.

so,you know...

Answer 2

Play 2 video's at a time is possible..

STEPS:

1.create 2 instance of MPMoviePlayer

2.set frame for 2 player by using CGRectMake

3.Add 2 players to the view(self.view)

I hope above steps are helpful for u.

setting frame for player only supported in iOS 3.2 and above versions.

Let me know you have any doubt.

Sample Code:

player1.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 240);
[self.view addSubview:player1.view];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]addObserver:self 
                                        selector:@selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
                                            name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                          object:player1];
[player1 play];
player2.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 241, 320, 220);
[self.view addSubview:player2.view];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]addObserver:self 
                                        selector:@selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
                                            name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                          object:player2];
[player2 play];
