For playing local video file, you can use MPMoviePlayerController.

- (void) playVideo:(NSString *) videoName {
if ([self.fileManager fileExistsAtPath:videoName]) {
    [self stopVideo];
    self.videoPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoName]];
    [self.videoPlayer.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 360)];
    CGAffineTransform t1;
    t1 = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(-1.0,1.0);
    self.videoPlayer.view.layer.transform = CATransform3DMakeAffineTransform(t1);
    [self.view addSubview:self.videoPlayer.view];
    [self.videoPlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];
    [self.videoPlayer setScalingMode:MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
     addObserver:self
     selector:@selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
     name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
     object:self.videoPlayer];
    [self.videoPlayer play];
}

}

- (void)stopVideo {
if (self.videoPlayer) {
    if ([self.videoPlayer playbackState] == MPMoviePlaybackStatePlaying) {
        [self.videoPlayer stop];
    }
    [self.videoPlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
    self.videoPlayer = nil;
}

}

- (void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) aNotification {
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [aNotification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
 removeObserver:self
 name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
 object:player];
[self.videoPlayer.view removeFromSuperview];

}
