With the caveat that I haven't actually tried it, would it make more sense to be streaming the movie data to a local file, then specifying the URL/path to the file in the initializer method of one of the movie player classes? If the player can handle the case where not all the movie data is present then it should just "do the right thing." The benefit is that you can use the same code to play the movie, no matter how much of it is local.

I'm thinking capturing frames and audio and using an AVAssetWriter like I would when recording from the camera, but i'm not sure if this will work when "recording" from a playing asset. Would anyone illuminate me as to whether this is possible, or if I need to explore other ways of doing this (which would probably be a lot less cool and efficient than doing it this way, alas)?
