Check the docs and choose what type you need.

myImagePickerController.mediaTypes =
    [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: (NSString *) kUTTypeMovie, nil];

It is Verified and Tested on Both iPhone and iPad For picking video.

@property (strong,nonatomic) UIPopoverController *popOver;

property is Set For iPad access.

UIImagePickerController *videoPicker=[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
videoPicker.sourceType=UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
videoPicker.mediaTypes=[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie, nil];
videoPicker.delegate=self;

if( UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
{
    UIPopoverController *popController=[[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:videoPicker];
    [popController presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(0, 600, 160, 300) inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
    self.popOver=popController;
}
else
{
    [self presentViewController:videoPicker animated:YES completion:nil];
}
