First, libVLC is LGPL. But for the other part, it depends.

For MPEG-4 ASP or H.264, this is usually decoded by the hardware or the OS. For some other codecs, notably Dolby and DTS, it's more tricky.

Oop, I should have been more clear -- I meant patent licenses for codecs that are still encumbered by patents.
