First question is, given a url to an mp4 video, how can I save that file to disk? The followup to that is while its saving, can I begin playback after its buffered some of the video to disk or do I have to wait for the entire file to be written and then:

MPMoviePlayerController* theMovie=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:theURL];

using the path to the local file.

Thanks, Sam
