QuickTime 7's H.264 encoder is claimed to be Main Profile, but is actually Baseline Profile plus 1 B-frame support; the decoder supports Baseline, Extended, and most of Main Profile.
(Adapted from the Wikipedia)
Mac update estimates: MacBook Pro 2Q09 or 3Q09; MacBook 2Q09 or 3Q09; MacBook Air 2Q09 or 3Q09; Mac Pro/Xserve 1Q09 (2.93-3.33+Ghz Nehalem, 48+GB RAM); iMac 1Q09 (Cantiga, 2.53-3.06Ghz Penryn [quad possible], 8GB RAM); Mac mini 4Q08 (2.1-2.4Ghz Penryn, 4GB RAM).
