During a nerd moment, I decided to change my Hard Drive icon to something 'snazzy, but totally unnecessary' and found I had no administrator permissions to do this, even though I was logged in as the administrator. The next time I rebooted, administrator permissions were restored, but only to reverse again after another reboot.

Yes, buggy.

Is that actually possible without re-downloading the file?

It could be possible. The wavelet transform used for MPEG4 (and for JPEG) allows for that, but I don't know any file that does it.

I second that! This started happening to me since I installed Leopard.
