Taken from one of my projects, just adjust this to fit your needs:

    NSURL *movieUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];

    MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieUrl];

    player.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 690, 370);

    // Here is where you set the control Style like fullscreen or embedded
    player.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
    //player.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleEmbedded;
    //player.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
    //player.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;


    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(movieFinished) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:player];

    UIView *movieBox = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 600, 400)];
    [movieBox setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

    [movieBox addSubview:player.view];
    [self.view addSubview:movieBox];
    player.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;

    player.contentURL = movieUrl; 

    [player play];

Use HTML5 in UIWebView for video playing as intial is poster image and on click video starts as per your requirement.
