Actually, you can change the size of the player. Before you create the movie object, attach a selector, like this:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyWindowChanged:) name:UIWindowDidBecomeKeyNotification object:nil];

This way, when the new window of the player appears, you can grab it and change its size to fit your needs.

You can also add the Overlay:

\- (void) keyWindowChanged: (NSNotification *) aNot {

    if([[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] count] > 1)
    {
        NSArray *windows = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows];
        UIWindow * tmp = [windows objectAtIndex:1];//[aNot object];
        movOverlay = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 40, 30, 40)];
        movOverlay.backgroundColor = [UIColor purpleColor];
        [tmp addSubview:movOverlay];
        ...
    } 
}

MPMoviePlayerController take the entire screen. The only option for is to use a 3rd party video viewer library.

I don't think so--it wants to take over the entire screen.
