Use this:

NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:strURL];

I'm getting `nil` for videoData – Kirit Vaghela Apr 07 '14 at 10:46
@Kirit Vaghela getting nil because your strURL is not appropriate – Paresh Navadiya Apr 28 '14 at 06:41
then what is correct way to get URL, like when you get video from UIImagepickerViewController – AsifHabib Mar 13 '15 at 07:50
This gives me error *** ASL MESSAGE SIZE (4729329 bytes) EXCEEDED MAXIMIMUM SIZE (2048000 bytes) ***. video is just of 6 seconds. Is there any other way to convert URL to NSData. – Sushil Sharma Jan 30 '16 at 07:46
even i am getting nil. – Arshad Shaik Dec 24 '18 at 04:54

NSString *filPath=@"file_url";
NSData *dt=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:filePath]];

i had also same problem

NSString *filePath1 = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Waterfall_h264" ofType:@"mov"];
NSError *error = nil;
NSData *data1 = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath1 options:nil error:&error];

also i think you may not include video file into link library. goto: target section -> Build Phases tab -> compile sources -> click on + button -> select your video file -> clcik on add button.

now try again...hope this will be useful...:)
