Tipard Video Converter 1.0 (or version 3.1.08, both from what I see)

/Volumes/Tipard\ Video\ Converter/Tipard\ Video\ Converter.app/ 
Contents/MacOS/dll/m/libesh.dylib & libpsh.dylib contain mplayer  
(possibly mencoder, as there is a MencoderShell function):

Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been miscompiled
and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec,
but in the compiler. You may try recompiling using gcc >= 4.2.
Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers.

No no credit is given, mplayer is not mentioned & no GPL is included,

If there is a "Hall of Shame" page, please add this program. If there  
is no such page, this would be SO deserving of its rightful place.
----------
 From their about page:
"Tipard Studio is always make great efforts to provide more helpful  
solutions to meet users' needs"

...so I'm sure they will "make great efforts"
