path method

The Path method returns a type CGRef type which is incompatible with the NSString videoFilePath which the instructor set the path as. There is no compile error in the video, but is this because of a new version? and should we use bridge to convert directly?

replace the line thats giving you the warning with this:

    NSURL *imagePickerURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
    self.videoFilePath = [imagePickerURL path];

you basically have to split that one line into 2 separate lines.

see this forum post for more info
