Thank you Rick for guide me about this issue! set this to get video.mp4 file using stream response

  if (response.statusCode == 200) {

 final directory = await getExternalStorageDirectory();
  var file = await File('${directory.path}/video.mp4').create(recrusive: true);
 var bytes = <int>[];
response.Stream.listen{
  (newBytes){
    bytes.addAll(newBytes);
  },
   onDone: () async{
      await file.writeAsBytes(bytes);
   }
}
}
 return file;
