Convert .mov to base64 encoded string IOS

Question

I am trying to convert media files in my IOS app to base 64 encoded strings. When I convert an image, I successfully see the encoded string on the console.

 NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"photo" ofType:@"jpg"]];
NSString *base64Encoded = [videoData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0];
NSLog(@"%@", base64Encoded);

But when I try to give a .mov file, it does not print anything.

 NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"movie" ofType:@"mov"]];

Can someone please tell me what is that I am doing wrong? Or how can I convert .mov file to base64 encoded string?

Thanks
