Video Playback not full screen

Hello everyone,

I need to play a video in a layer that would take up about 2 thirds of the screen leaving enough space for a text label underneath and buttons on the side.

Cocos2d does not handle video as far as I know but is there perhaps an API out there that could do this (preferably not having to use interface builder) compatible with Cocos2D.

I can play a video full screen very simply with MPMoviePlayerController but it is not possible to interact with it other than using the standard controls (if anyone is interested I can post an example) even if the video is not full screen the rest of the screen is filled with the "backgroundColor" that is set and it is impossible to interact with the layer or the scene when I play a video.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

From what I have found so far it may not be possible to play a small video so I am now also looking at the possibility of somehow adding the Director as a subview of the video which would act as my interface. The video would be played full screen but have blank regions that the interface would cover.

the only way is to compile libavcodec and other ffmpeg stuff, and then use it. from my experience it will not give you more than 10-15fps.
