Answer 1

Perhaps using Two instances of MPMoviePlayerController would do what you want.

MPMoviePlayerController *a = [MPMoviePlayerController initWithContentsOfURL:/*...*/];
MPMoviePlayerController *b = [MPMoviePlayerController initWithContentsOfURL:/*...*/];

Not possible MPMoviePlayerViewController is sigleton class internaly if u create second movie instance while first is playing the first one stops.

u can play only one at a time , u can change current movie by setting new url using setContentUrl property and can reuse the same instance.
