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.
