Wiki entry for Quicktime

Hi.

In the Wiki entry for Quicktime at

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime#QuickTime_7.x

I found that it said

# Complete MPEG-4 compliance.
# H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec.

I thought it was meaningful to add

# Complete MPEG-4 compliance (except for MPEG-4 part 2 the Windows version does not support PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) essential for high quality video at low bitrate. Some OS-X versions are rumoured to support PAR, but the claim is still to be proven).

# H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec (as for PAR for MPEG-4 part 2, the Windows version has no support for SAR (Source Aspect Ratio) essential for high quality video at low bitrate. Some OS-X versions are rumoured to support SAR, but the claim is still to be proven).

Please drop a comment if something changes dramatically.

Kind regards

BTW. He he, Complete MPEG-4 compliance is a mighty big claim. Complete is sort of absolute. A bit like eternity is a mighty long time, especilly towards the end.
