Question

Any application can access the library and camera roll and get pictures from there. There’s any equivalent way to get videos instead?

I mean, to show a list of all video files the user has on the device and let the user select one, playing that one after that?

thanks for any help!

Do it the same way you do for photos. Checkout the UIImagePickerController docs. you just have to set the mediaTypes property properly.

UIImagePickerController *picker = [[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init] autorelease];
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
picker.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:kUTTypeMovie];
picker.delegate = self;
