#pragma mark -
#pragma mark File Names and Paths
// Creates the path if it does not exist.
- (void)ensurePathAt:(NSString *)path {
    NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
    if ( [fm fileExistsAtPath:path] == false ) {
        [fm createDirectoryAtPath:path
      withIntermediateDirectories:YES
                       attributes:nil
                            error:NULL];
    }
}
- (NSString *)documentPath {
    if ( ! documentPath_ ) {
        NSArray *searchPaths =NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
        documentPath_ = [searchPaths objectAtIndex: 0];
        documentPath_=[documentPath_ stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"VideoAlbum"];
        [documentPath_ retain];
    }
    return documentPath_;
}

- (NSString *)audioPath {
    if ( ! AudioPath_ ) {
        AudioPath_ = [[self documentPath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Demo"];
        NSLog(@"%@",AudioPath_);
        [AudioPath_ retain];
        [self ensurePathAt:AudioPath_];
    }
    return AudioPath_;
}
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
    NSString *type = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];

    if ([type isEqualToString:(NSString *)kUTTypeVideo] || [type isEqualToString:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie])
    {
        NSURL *videoURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];

        NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:videoURL];
        tempPath = [[self audioPath] stringByAppendingFormat:@"/%@.mp4",[NSDate date]];
        BOOL success = [videoData writeToFile:tempPath atomically:NO];

        NSLog(@"%hhd",success);
    }
    [[picker presentingViewController] dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

Saving the video to the documents directory is as follows:

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {

    NSURL *videoURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
    NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:videoURL];
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *tempPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingFormat:@"/vid1.mp4"];
    BOOL success = [videoData writeToFile:tempPath atomically:NO];
    [picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

Here is the swift code if anyone need it in future:

func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {

    let videoURL = info[UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] as! NSURL
    let videoData = NSData(contentsOfURL: videoURL)
    let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, NSSearchPathDomainMask.UserDomainMask, true)
    let documentsDirectory: AnyObject = paths[0]
    let dataPath = documentsDirectory.stringByAppendingPathComponent("/vid1.mp4")

    videoData?.writeToFile(dataPath, atomically: false)
    self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

}
