How can i store a 50MB video in HTML5's app cache?

I'm developing an iOS offline app, and i'm trying to store a 50MB video for offline viewing. However after properly adding the video's url in my manifest.appcache, I got a console Error saying that the appcache limit exceeded the allowed size. Therefore, breaks my whole page; not one resource is loaded after.

As soon as I unlink the video from the appcache, everything works fine.

Is there a way i can circumvent this behavior ? Or, is there a way i can store a 50MB video on an IOS5+ iPad for offline view ?

javascript ios ipad html html5-appcache

There is probably no way to store your 50MB video. The current limit on iOS seems to be 5mb.

According to this answer to a similar question it's possible to raise it with some trickery, but that's probably not an option for your video.

Maybe you can include a (really) low res version of your video, maybe even in a smaller size for offline viewing.
