UIImagePickerController allowsEditing=YES just for video

I am using the UIImagePickerController to let the user select a photo or video. The problem I am facing, is I use my own image editor for photo's so want allowsEditing=NO for photo's, but video must be a certain length so I want allowsEditing=YES for video.

Setting videoMaximumDuration for the image picker works fine when recording video, but if selecting from the camera roll it only informs the user that the video is too long if allowsEditing is enabled.

So far, I can successfully change the allowsEditing property when using the camera by listening for the ImageControlModeChanged notification. Then I can change the property using:

- (void)imageCaptured:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    if (imagePicker.cameraCaptureMode == UIImagePickerControllerCameraCaptureModeVideo) {
        imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;
    } else {
        imagePicker.allowsEditing = NO;
    }
}

However this doesn't work when selecting from the Camera roll. I have monitored the notifications and can't see one that would be useful to change the allowsEditing property depending on which item was selected.

Is this even possible?

Thanks

Simply allow editing on both image and video pick, but in didFinishPicking delegate method, for photo, choose original photo and not edited photo. However picker will still show that square box over image.
