      It is my understanding, that to promote an open codec, AVID put their modern codecs in the public domain many years back and don’t charge license fees on them.  It was part of an effort to have a standard codec available for all.

      At least someone has some sense.

      The codec doesn't need updated, it's the software (i.e. Avid) that needs updated.

      why i.e. Avid? I would say Apple is cheap and arrogant / lazy.
      Avid gives out licenses for the codecs. I’m afraid it is a stand off where both AVID and Apple want to see money for the codecs to be included in FCPX.

      And some stupid nitwits over at the COW now call DNxXX ‘obsolete’ just because Apple puts its nose in the air.

      And WHO CARES WHAT QTX CANNOT PLAY IF THERE IS VLC AS A FIX? (the rhymes come free.)

      Now, again (and this won’t be the last time.)
      Quicktime is NOT dead.
      The only thing that will be killed is QTplayer 7 (and lower) for Mac on newer Mac OS’s
      This means nothing for the .mov format. (But I fear that a lot of the original specs / possibilities with the format will not be supported anymore, and IMHO that is a shame. But I grasp the logic, Apple is a poor company that has to keep waling on its toes in order to survive in this killing business where it feels the steamy hot breath of Avid and Adobe in its neck.)
