Save the The Stream From URL - iphone

Question

In my project I am connecting a url and I am watching a video with MPMoviePlayerViewController. But that is not enough to me. I also want to save the file to my Iphone. I have to buttons. one is watch the video, the other is save the video. When I push the button watch I am watchng it. But unable to save it. by this I want to be able to watch the video later. So in another view I want to see saved videos etc. Is there any one can help me or can show the way ? I have tried following code phrase but When the code started, It works for a while (probably it is the download time), but when it is time to save I get Bad EXC_BAD_ACCESS error .Thanks every one.
Here is my code .
CFStringRef *docsDirectory = (CFStringRef)[NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent: #"recordedFile.mp4"];
NSString *temPath=NSTemporaryDirectory();
NSString *tempfile=[temPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"recode.mp4"];
NSLog(#" DOSYA ADI MADI %#",docsDirectory);
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error = [[NSError alloc] init];
[fileManager removeItemAtPath:docsDirectory error:&error];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://video.teknomart.com.tr/3-13-2.mp4"];
NSMutableURLRequest *liveRequest = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
[liveRequest setCachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData];
[liveRequest setValue:#"headervalue" forHTTPHeaderField:#"headerfield"];
NSURLResponse *response;
NSData *myData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:liveRequest returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSData *myData2 = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://video.teknomart.com.tr/3-13-2.mp4"]];
NSString *myString=[[NSString alloc] initWithData:myData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(#"gelen sey %#",myString);
[myString writeToFile:tempfile writeToFile:tempfile automatically:YES encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:nil];
[myString release];
return true;
