This is the correct reason. If you want mpeg formats you must buy an
extension to quicktime that costs $20.

Quicktime 7 -> and MPEG4 are one and the same thing. You can knock Apple
if you want but they invented desktop video back in the early 1990s. I
think you should be thanking them instead for making desktop video
possible. In the corner of my home office I have a an AV Mac that is
dated 1993 - just think of what kind of video you could play back on a
PC or under Linux then...
