IPhone plays video in user view: Sample code Please?

Question

I want to build an application that plays full-screen video with an interface overlaying it, which basically selects the video that plays under it (think "Gym Babes", but nowhere near the risk!). I do not want to use private headers, so MPMoviePlayerController cannot be.

I delved into stackoverflow for a while and came to the conclusion that I would need to use some kind of special codec / video library, which I suppose will be recorded in C.

My question is basically anyone successful? And can anyone share any code, tutorials, etc. that they can use?

You probably want to take a look at AVPlayerLayer: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/AVFoundation/Reference/AVPlayerLayer_Class/Reference/Reference.html it gives you basic playback options without an interface (fully read fully customizable). ..
