You are welcome.  Thank you for showing ignorance and disrespect by
never bothering to read the license in the first place.

Now I have little motivation to supply you with free legal consulting
services.  My time is valuable and you are not really giving me anything
in return.  Your program is proprietary shareware like many others.  You
do charge others for the results of your time, so do not act as if you
were entitled to receive free labor from others.

Now you are not going to get the easy way out of this.  Hiding 5 lines
of README inside an opaque Mac OS X application bundle is not enough.
You will have to provide source yourself, right next to the place where
people get your application.  Also you should give prominent notice that
you are using FFmpeg and what the licensing terms are.  Then we start
talking.
