I would like to be able to display a video on the iphone screen - preferably in a view so that I can control its display coordinates. I want to be able to load the view and overlap and partially overlap a subview ... is any of this feasible? I have read that mpmovieplayer is the only method for video display (and is full screen)? Any workarounds?

A: 

You can place an overlay view on top of the video player, but that is pretty much it. There is a sample application in the SDK that shows how to do this.

Yep - I've been researching - it looks like the player's capabilities are pretty rudimentary. Thanks for the reply!
