someone asked my opinion on the mac store and how mplayer applications
have gone up for sale on it.

thought i'd ask the rest of the project while i was thinking.

you might remember vlc has had some problem with the apple app store
because of incompatabilities from apple's eula and the GPL.

there are many posts on their mailing list, for ex:

there are mplayer apps with easy to find source code and instructions:

http://mplayerx.org/#Download

mplayerx's bugtracker mentions some other possible mplayer apps on the
app store:

but i have not verified if they are using mplayer/ffmpeg code:
http://itunes.apple.com/app/oplayer/id406775694?mt=12
no code found on : http://www.edavs.com/
