Ribbit Project: Setting videoFilePath change in latest iOS?

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

I get an error stating:

implicit conversion of C pointer type 'CGPathRef' (aka 'const struct CGPath *') to Objective C pointer types NSString requires a bridge cast.

It gives me two ways to fix it. I am guessing I can choose either of them.

However, what's going on exactly?

So far as I can tell, the documentation isn't helping much.

you need to break that line up into two separate lines. replace

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

with

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