Checking self.videFilePath

In theory, what if the file path existed but the actual file didn't?(The equivalent of a 404 error on the web, but in the local filesystem). Shouldn't there be a check for that as well?

Ho Robin,

If you have a look at the imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info method in the documentation you will see that the NSDictionary info contains the path information...

From Apple documentation: "info - A dictionary containing the original image and the edited image, if an image was picked; or a filesystem URL for the movie, if a movie was picked. The dictionary also contains any relevant editing information."

So technically there is no way that the movie will not exist since you pick it from the library, or you film it right now.
