Answer 1

You can download it using GCD.

-(void)downloadVideoAndSave :(NSString*)videoUrl
{
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{

        NSData *yourVideoData=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:videoUrl]];

        if (yourVideoData) {
            NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
            NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

            NSString  *filePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", documentsDirectory,@"video.mp4"];

            if([yourVideoData writeToFile:videpPath atomically:YES])
            {
                NSLog(@"write successfull");
            }
            else{
                NSLog(@"write failed");
            }
        }
    });
}
