Two years is a very long time. Back in 2001, Apple pulled the popular VLC Media Player off of iTunes because of licensing fights. This was a major let down for Apple fans who watch content in non-friendly Apple file types.
The media player has since returned to iTunes. Some popular features of the app are that it syncs with iTunes, supports downloads from URLs, WiFi syncing, and the ability to pull media from Dropbox. VLC has the ability to read any video codec. The app supports multi-track audio (including 5.1) and subtitles, so the movies look and sound amazing. One of the best features is that it also comes with AirPlay integration.
The final icing on the cake is that there are no more licensing disputes. VideoLAN, the non-profit behind the app, said it has a Mozilla Public License v2 that allows for sale in the App Store.
VLC is available for free on the App Store.
