In the run time you can't save a video to resource folder but you can save files in to NSDocuments and retrive them using NSFileManagers.Go through this link http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Working_with_Files_on_the_iPhone

Try with this Code to save a file

 NSArray *paths =NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask, YES); 
 NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];                    
 NSString *filePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/filename.MP4",documentsDirectory];
 NSData*   videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"your Url"]];
 [[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:filePath withIntermediateDirectories:YES attributes:nil error:nil];
 [filemanager createFileAtPath:filePath contents:videoData attributes:nil];

To retrive:

 NSArray *paths =NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask, YES); 
 NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];                    
 NSString *filePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/filename.MP4",documentsDirectory];
    BOOL exists = [fm fileExistsAtPath:newDirectory isDirectory:&isDir];
    if (exists) {
     //Play Video with contents of file path. 

      }
