yeah that can be painfull :(

I don't think VLC is a trademark.

There is some logos on http://www.videolan.org/goodies.html and the
copyright notice says:

"""
You may freely use these VideoLAN logos using the following copyright:

Copyright (c) 1996-2004 VideoLAN. This logo or a modified version

"""

So in english that means you can use them with a link to videolan.org
saying the code is from VLC Media Player (that's the only thing we ask
when you provide binaries) to conform to the GPL (redistribution of the
source code).

There is even some blender sources, so feel free to put a customized
version (maybe with your logo).

> Do you have any suggestions ?

As long as you do it fairly there is no problem at all (and if you feel
it's fair, that's good).

> Thanks for your comments.
