Right Now When I click The Done Button It Dismiss The MPMoviePlayer But It change The size Of My UIView Height. Is there any solution To remove MPMoviePlayer without affecting my View Size.

Create a videoPlayer view controller (MPMoviePlayerViewController subclass) and add it to your root view controller.

videoPlayerViewController = [[VideoViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:resourcePath]];
[rootViewController presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:videoPlayerViewController];
videoPlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;

then add notifications:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(stopVideo:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:[videoPlayerViewController moviePlayer]];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(stopVideo:) name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:[videoPlayerViewController moviePlayer]];                        

then your method that gets called when the notification is received.

- (void) stopVideo:(NSNotification*) aNotification {
  [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:[videoPlayerViewController moviePlayer]];
  [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:[videoPlayerViewController moviePlayer]];
  MPMoviePlayerController *player = [aNotification object];
  [player stop];
}
