movieURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.dropbox.com/s/Screen%20Capture2013-01-31%2014_21_22.mov"];
NSURLRequest *theRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:movieURL cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData timeoutInterval:60];
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:theRequest delegate:self startImmediately:YES];
if( connection )
{
receivedData = [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithLength:0];
}
else
{
//[delegate ConnectionFailed];
}
}
- (void) connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response {
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
[receivedData setLength:0];
}
- (void) connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data {
[receivedData appendData:data];
NSLog(#"dee- %#",receivedData);
}
- (void) connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
// [connection release];
}

use below code
-(void)movieReceived{
{
NSString *strVideoUrl = #"abc.com/xyz" // your VideoUrl in String
strVideoUrl = [strVideoUrl stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:strVideoUrl];
moviePlayer=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDonePressed:) name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:moviePlayer];
moviePlayer.controlStyle=MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
//moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay=NO;
[moviePlayer play];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
[moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
}
- (void) moviePlayBackDonePressed:(NSNotification*)notification
{
[moviePlayer stop];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:moviePlayer];
if ([moviePlayer respondsToSelector:#selector(setFullscreen:animated:)])
{
[moviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
}
moviePlayer=nil;
}
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification
{
[moviePlayer stop];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
if ([moviePlayer respondsToSelector:#selector(setFullscreen:animated:)])
{
[moviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
