I'll report back my results, i think the AXIS video server
is using mpeg4ip ...

The GPL license issue is another problem for me.
(Note: I respect and honour all open source developers for their
beautiful piece of work.)

Is mozilla getting GPL software when the vlc plugin is loaded,
if yes i think nobody may use the plugin as nobody can change
anothers license during the plugin is loaded?

Is the adobe pdf plugin getting GPL software when the vls plugin is loaded
additionally?

Do you know any other open source video player which
is cabapable doing what i need with a more free license
like LGPL (for example could mpeg4ip do it which is under Mozilla license)?

thanks
