This restriction no longer makes sense to me. _All_ Macs ship with DVD
drives now, so the MPEG license fees should be paid up with no need to
pay a second time.

I have always assumed that it's precisely because Apple hasn't
licensed the right to provide decoding APIs through these codecs that
we are artificially prevented from such functionality. Isn't there
some add-on codec you can buy from Apple that includes the ability to
"export from MPEG-1/2" ? I always thought that once that was
installed any application would gain the magic powers.
I think it costs users around $30 to buy it.
