Chapter 7. Video and Display Output
In older versions of iOS, displaying video was an all-or-nothing proposition. The MPMoviePlayerController included as part of the Media Player framework allowed you to display video that took over the whole screen, and that was it! There was no system-supported way to display video in any other way—for example, as a small video displayed within a web page.
Starting with iOS 3.2 for the iPad, the MPMoviePlayerController has changed a bit. Now, instead of taking over the screen, the default behavior is to display its video directly on the screen. In this chapter, you'll see how this is accomplished by creating an app that displays multiple videos on the screen simultaneously (with some limitations).
