Resuming video in the app like..NETFLIX

[sharhelia]

Hi
I have some videos/movies available on server for which i have url. I am able to play movies through MPMoviePlayer successfully. But what i actually want is , that if a movie is of length 1 hour and if user sees till 30 minutes and quits the app, he should be able to resume from where he has left the movie. Its kind of similar to NETFLIX where you can resume your movies from the last point you were watching.. As the videos are not available local to the app, i can not just set the initialPlayBackTime to the last time in the movie where user left as it always starts from very beginning as it starts downloading that video again as i play it.. i think i need to store it somewhere locally as user views it, but how can i store such a long data as 1 hour movie can be of 300 to 400 MB in size. I don't have any idea how the NETFLIX guys doing it. Any help will be useful..

Thanks,
