where u have to specify mediaTypes of UIImagePickerControllerObject to get video

Check the docs and choose what type you need.

myImagePickerController.mediaTypes =
    [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: (NSString *) kUTTypeMovie, nil];

You can't choose images using UIImageView, that is for displaying images. You can easily use UIImagePickerController to choose images; to use it to choose videos instead, just assign an array containing kUTTypeMovie to the picker's mediaTypes property:

myImagePickerController.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie];

It's also possible (in iOS 4.0 and above) to access the library at a lower level, using ALAssetsLibrary.

If you're asking how you can display thumbnails of videos in your own interface (and you're targeting iOS 4.0 or above), look into AVAssetImageGenerator to generate the thumbnails and then display them as you would any image. If you're asking how to play a movie, look into MPMoviePlayerController.

This topic may be too old. But I think there's a link that may help others who seek for a similar solution (for example, me). It use storyboard as well as new framework features introduced in iOS5 and above (ALAssetsLibrary, AVFoundation ...). Here it is How to Play, Record, and Edit Videos in iOS

Hope this help.
