Playing local IPhone Videos with PhoneGap
Can anyone tell me if it is POSSIBLE to access local videos stored on
an IPhone with PhoneGap
If yes, what should the path looks like?
As a way to save ( a lot... ) of bandwidth, I would like to store
videos directly on IPhones that would be distributed to our visitors
and the apps would first try to load the local copy of the video, and
if it is not found ( for people with other IPhone devices that the one
distributed ) it would load the file remotly.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do?
Thx a lot ! :)

to AP, phonegap
Put in your www directory (your web root) or a path off it.
If its in your web root, refer to it directly by filename -- else append the relative path

Yes, i do it in my app.
If you put your video in wwww/video/myvideo.mp4 , the path will be
"video/myvideo.mp4"
And you can test if the video exists in local with JS.
If you need help for the encoding settings, you can look at this blog
