How to add video to iphone simulator

Can anyone tell me how to add video the iPhone simulator so that I can test some apps I am working on? Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • okey, try this:

    - (void) downloadVideo {
NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://sepwww.stanford.edu/sep/jon/trash/poolwaves.mov"]];

    You can change the temp.mov to temp.m4v to save the vid in m4v.

    NSString *tempPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/temp.mov", NSTemporaryDirectory()];
[imageData writeToFile:tempPath atomically:NO];
UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum (tempPath, self, @selector(video:didFinishSavingWithError: contextInfo:), nil);
}


- (void) video: (NSString *) videoPath
didFinishSavingWithError: (NSError *) error
   contextInfo: (void *) contextInfo {
    NSLog(@"Finished saving video with error: %@", error);
}

    if you change the url to your moviefile, this should work really well... the movies are saved in this directory: /Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.3.2/Media/DCIM but you are right, if i copy a file to it, it won't show up in the simulator
