Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.
I am a business owner that is interested in developing a game app that is heavily video (and audio) based. I need the expert opinion of the development gurus here to answer a few technical questions regarding this:
1. Are there limitations to the type or quantity of video in an app?
2. What is the most recommended video file types that will provide high quality yet be as small of a file type as possible? H.264? Mp4?
3. I would like to set up the app to use simple logic where to be successful a user would have to select a predetermined winning series of steps that get them through to complete the game successfully; or if the user makes poor choices would result in a randomly selected unsuccessful outcome video. My question is - would setting up a logic if/then type of structure allow me to control the cost and make more simple the development?
4. If all this is possible, why don't we see very many video based games/apps on the app store?
Any other insight you can provide is very welcome. Also, if you are an experienced developer that is possibly interested in taking on this project, we can talk about a contract arrangement.

yeah there are some limitations. has to be a certain mp4 type. just google it. and yes, this app is obviously possible to build. you might not get the best advice posting on forums like this,so be careful! sometimes people on forums told me things were not possible, and they WERE in fact very possible.

MP4 is not the only supported format. From the docs:
The video technologies in iOS support the playback of movie files with the .mov, .mp4, .m4v, and .3gp filename extensions and using the following compression standards:
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
