VLC has its own RTSP reader.

vlc4iphone is not a VideoLAN project (not same people, etc), and requires a JailBroken iPhone. Information on the project, along with the source code is available here: http://www.zodttd.com/wiki/index.php/Vlc4iphone . We do not sanction jail breaking your iphone. There is no official VLC player for the iPhone and if one is made available in the future it an announcement will be made, though no work is being done in this direction as far as I am aware.
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

I haven't really looked at the code, so I can't comment on the specifics.

From what I know the only code that needs to be in objective-C is anything that interacts with with system API. There are plenty of applications out there that mix Objective-C and C++.
