UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])
{
NSArray *mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:(NSString*)kUTTypeMovie];
picker.mediaTypes = mediaTypes ;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
picker.cameraCaptureMode = UIImagePickerControllerCameraCaptureModeVideo ;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:NO];
[picker release];
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alt=[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Error" message:#" Camera Facility is not available with this Device" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alt show];
[alt release];
}

Try this, I've stored it with current Date-Time ::
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController*)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary*)info
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
NSString *type = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
if ([type isEqualToString:(NSString *)kUTTypeVideo] || [type isEqualToString:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie])
{
videoURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
NSLog(#"found a video");
// Code To give Name to video and store to DocumentDirectory //
videoData = [[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:videoURL] retain];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-yyyy||HH:mm:SS"];
NSDate *now = [[[NSDate alloc] init] autorelease];
theDate = [dateFormat stringFromDate:now];
NSString *dataPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Default Album"];
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:dataPath])
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:dataPath withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:nil];
NSString *videopath= [[[NSString alloc] initWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#.mov",documentsDirectory,theDate]] autorelease];
BOOL success = [videoData writeToFile:videopath atomically:NO];
NSLog(#"Successs:::: %#", success ? #"YES" : #"NO");
NSLog(#"video path --> %#",videopath);
}
}
Video Uploading ::
videoData is getting from videoData = [[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:videoURL] retain];
- (void)uploadVideo
{
NSData *imageData = videoData;
NSString *urlString=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%s", UploadVideoService];
NSLog(#"url=== %#", urlString);
request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSString *boundary = #"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449";
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",boundary];
[request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
/* body of the post */
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
//Video Name with Date-Time
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd-hh:mm:ssa"];
NSString *currDate = [dateFormat stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"video-%#.mov\"\r\n", currDate];
NSLog(#"String name:: %#",str);
[dateFormat release];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:str] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[#"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[request setHTTPBody:body];
NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"result from webservice:::--> %#", returnString);
[returnString release];
}
Hope, it'll help you.
Thanks.

Once try like this,
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)imagePicker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
NSURL *videoUrl = (NSURL *)[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
dateFormatter.dateFormat = #"hh:mm:ss";
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];
NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:videoUrl];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *savedvedioPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[dateFormatter stringFromDate:now]]];
savedvedioPath = [savedvedioPath stringByAppendingFormat:#".mp4"];
[videoData writeToFile:savedvedioPath atomically:NO];
//here is the method to upload onto server
[self Upload_server:savedvedioPath];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
now define your method to upload vedio like,
-(void)Upload_server:(NSString*)file_path {
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: #"YOUR_URL_TO_UPLOAD"];
ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setUseKeychainPersistence:YES];
[request addFile:file_path forKey:#"YOUR_KEY"];
//insted of in above line you can also use [request setData:vedioData withFileName:#"your_file_name" andContentType:#"video/mp4" forKey:#"YOUR_KEY"] by Sending vedioData of type NSData as another perameter to this method.
[request setDelegate:self];
[request setDidFinishSelector:#selector(uploadRequestFinished:)];
[request setDidFailSelector:#selector(uploadRequestFailed:)];
[request startAsynchronous];
}
now implement ASIFormDataRequest delegatemethods like,
- (void)uploadRequestFinished:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request{
NSString *responseString = [request responseString];
//do something after sucessful upload
}
- (void)uploadRequestFailed:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request{
NSLog(#" Error - Statistics file upload failed: \"%#\"",[[request error] localizedDescription]);
}
Here i took ASIFormDataRequest to upload on to server.hope it will hepls you..

//for video..
#import <MobileCoreServices/MobileCoreServices.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
#import <MediaPlayer/Mediaplayer.h>
#import <CoreMedia/CoreMedia.h>
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])
{
NSArray *mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:(NSString*)kUTTypeMovie];
picker.mediaTypes = mediaTypes ;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
picker.cameraCaptureMode = UIImagePickerControllerCameraCaptureModeVideo ;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:NO];
[picker release];
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alt=[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Error" message:#" Camera Facility is not available with this Device" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alt show];
[alt release];
}
for saving into Document folder & it also save in photo Library
NSArray* paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString* documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
//for video
NSURL *videoURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
NSLog(#"video url-%#",videoURL);
NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:videoURL];
NSString * videoName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"student_%d_%d.mp4",stud_id,imgVidID];
videoPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:videoName];
NSLog(#"video path-%#",videoPath);
[videoData writeToFile:videoPath atomically:YES];
NSString *sourcePath = [[info objectForKey:#"UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL"]relativePath];
UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum(sourcePath,nil,nil,nil);
}
