I am using a UIImagePickerController to get a video from the library.

So, I am using this

picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
picker.mediaTypes = 
[UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:picker.sourceType];

picker.allowsEditing = NO; 
picker.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie]; 
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];

As soon as I select the video and tap on CHOOSE, I see the message "Compressing Video" and it stays ages stuck... I waited for 5 minutes and the message was still there.

Is there a way to prevent this? Why I cannot simply take a copy of the move as it is. I do not want any compressing...

is there a way to solve this?

thanks.
