Thanks Eli. 0 hits for AAC (Protected) in the developer area [1]. I suppose we are left to guess and conjecture.
Apple states the following in quite a few documents: "iPhone supports the ability to play back video files directly from your application" (no strings attached). Is MPMoviePlayerController (and MPMoviePlayerViewController) considered non-Apple? Neither the MPMoviePlayerController Class Reference [2], Using Video [3], nor Audio & Video Coding How-To's [4] mentions anything about protected content or DRM.
