Although we don't go back and qualify the codecs on older versions of MC they should in general work fine. The one caveat is that the DNxHD QuickTime codec will create media that may not play correctly in 3.1.3 unless you install one of the codec patches available.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Re: New Avid QuickTime Codec's Correct Black Exports
If I just downloaded the latest Mac MCsoft 4.0.5.1 patch which is a complete install will that give me the latest PE codec package? Is the only difference between LE and PE codec packages the mpeg codecs? Or do I have to get the PE codecs from the links below? I thought I saw the PE codecs being loaded during the install of 4.0.5.1 but I might have been mistaken. Is there an under the hood folder that can be checked to see if I have the latest codecs package? Would this new codec package work on my 3.1.3 on an older Imac?

Note that the MPEG codec is only available to customers who purchased a copy of Avid Media Composer, Avid Newscutter, or Avid Symphony. This does NOT require that you have a support contract, only that you can provide evidence of a legally purchased copy of the software listed above.

Nope.... MC 4.0.5.1 is an editor patch and comes in 2 flavors... one for PC (you dont have to uninstall 4.0.5 just click on the patch image)and one for Mac which is a complete installer.....
