To download a file i used the following Code. Hope it will work for you too.
- (IBAction)getFileFromFtpServer:(UIView *)sender
{
NSString *stringURL = #"http://player.vimeo.com/video/32983838";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
NSData *urlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
if ( urlData )
{
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *filePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#", documentsDirectory,#"filename.mpeg4"];
[urlData writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES];
}
}

Try this here your video is playing..
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIWebView* webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 380)];
webView.delegate=self;
[webView setOpaque:NO];
webView.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
CGRect screen = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
CGFloat width = CGRectGetWidth(screen);
CGFloat height = CGRectGetHeight(screen);
UIActivityIndicatorView * activityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhite];
activityIndicator.frame=CGRectMake((width/2) - 10,(height/2) - 54, 20, 20);
activityIndicator.center=self.view.center;
[activityIndicator hidesWhenStopped];
[self playVideo];
}
-(void) playVideo
{
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://player.vimeo.com/video/32983838"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[self.webView loadRequest:request];
[activityIndicator startAnimating];
[webView addSubview:activityIndicator];
}
/* WebViewDidStartLoad */
- (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
[activityIndicator startAnimating];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible:YES];
}
/* WebViewDidFinishLoad */
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
[activityIndicator stopAnimating];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible:NO];
}
/* WebViewdidFailLoadWithError */
- (void)webView:(UIWebView *)webView didFailLoadWithError:(NSError *)error
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible:NO];
}

If I understand correctly and in response to above, google has shut down several "converter sites" due to copyright infringements: http://www.real.com/resources/youtube-to-mp3-converter There are other sites available to download video content from (again, assuming you're abiding by the copyright guidelines) : This lists five sites where you can find and download online videos free. To make sure a video is legal to download, look for licensing information about the video. Typically, videos with a “Creative Commons” license are legal to download, but may have limitations on how you use the video. http://www.real.com/resources/download-one-video
