Use the following code:

- (IBAction)playBtnPressed {
    NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://www.ebookfrenzy.com/ios_book/movie/movie.mov"];
    moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDonePressed:) name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:moviePlayer];

    moviePlayer.controlStyle=MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
    //moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay=NO;
    [moviePlayer play];
    [self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
    [moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
}

- (void)moviePlayBackDonePressed:(NSNotification *)notification {
    [moviePlayer stop];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:moviePlayer];                               

    if ([moviePlayer respondsToSelector:@selector(setFullscreen:animated:)]) {
        [moviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];    
    }

    [moviePlayer release];
    moviePlayer = nil;
}

- (void)moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification *)notification {
    [moviePlayer stop];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];                                              

    if ([moviePlayer respondsToSelector:@selector(setFullscreen:animated:)]) {
        [moviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
    }
}

• Use following line in .h file and add MediaPlayer Framework in your project

  import
