Sure they can, and there are many people working
diligently to ensure
that they do. The newest stuff requires 4x the horsepower to play
back, but they are 4x smaller, so it generally evens out.
Come on guys, MPEG-4 is an ISO standard and it's cross-platform. What
is the big deal? Would you rather have a 160x120 Cinepak .MOV from 1992?
No but then I still use older tools since they tend to be less bloated.
For me I am about 2 years behind the time for the latest stuff,
and I suspect many people are in the same boat.
