iPhone Creating a Modal Movie Window - iphone

Question

I have created an app that incorporates a table view, detail view, and a web view. I have established a cell in the table view that takes a URL from an RSS feed and will display it in a webview. The URL is an .MP4 file which causes the video to play. The problem I am having is that when the video ends, I cannot go back to the previous screen. The code is below:
DetailViewController.m load webview
if (indexPath.section == SectionHeader && indexPath.row == SectionHeaderEnclosure) {
if (item.enclosures) {
for (NSDictionary *dict in item.enclosures){
NSString *url = [dict objectForKey:#"url"];
NSLog(#" url is : %#",url);
//EXPERIMENTAL
WebViewController *webVC = [[WebViewController alloc] initWithURL:url];
[self presentModalViewController:webVC animated:YES];
}
}
}
WebViewController.m
- (void)loadView
{
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
self.view = webView;
[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:_url]]];
}
//Dismiss modal view
- (IBAction) done:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"done:");
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

I think it would be better to use an MPMoviePlayerViewController. The documentation shows how to set it up with the URL directly using initWithContentURL: and present it modally. You can listen for notifications thet the movie has ended and dismiss it when done. Lots of good stuff in the documentation.
