Try this :)

+ (void)convertVideoToLowQualityWithInputURL:(NSURL*)inputURL outputURL:(NSURL*)outputURL successHandler:(void (^)())successHandler failureHandler:(void (^)(NSError *))failureHandler
{
    if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtURL:outputURL]) [[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtURL:outputURL error:nil];
    AVURLAsset *asset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:inputURL options:nil];
    AVAssetExportSession *exportSession = [[AVAssetExportSession alloc] initWithAsset:asset presetName:AVAssetExportPresetLowQuality];
    exportSession.outputURL = outputURL;
    exportSession.outputFileType = AVFileTypeQuickTimeMovie;
    [exportSession exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler: ^(void) {
        if (exportSession.status == AVAssetExportSessionStatusCompleted)
        {
            successHandler();
        }
        else
        {
            NSError *error = [NSError errorWithDomain:domain code:code userInfo:userInfo]; 
            failureHandler(error); 
        }

Yes, it is called AVAssetWriter. Search around for examples, it is too complicated to give a coherent piece of working code as an answer here.
