Is there any possibility that Apple would pull a M$ and render old
files incompatible with newer versions of the encoder/decoder?  M$ does
it ALL the time with their so-called upgrades to their OS and Office
Suites.  The only reason to do it is to force the masses to spend the
money on the "upgrade" to a 1000 more "features" that they don't need
anyway.
