Undecoded Message
ok, so let me ask this.  If he has the file already, which he does, he should be able to just do that on his end the same.  He was a bit feisty on the phone about the whole thing so I hope I don't insult him by telling him that.  If this helps, he said this early on:
 
"Pro Tools does not use mp4 files. So what ever you give me, I will transcode to another codec such as Pro Res Proxy or Photo JPEG. I have had some problems transcoding from mp4 to other codecs whether I used Mpeg Streamclip, Compressor or Quicktime Pro."
 
Do you suppose, changing that extension to .mov will still work?
 
Thanks ahead!
 
Eric

Just rename it .mov.  It'll still be h.264 encoded but whatever reason he needs .mov should read it just fine.

Probably something like his file type drop down box is only looking for .mov. Something petty.

Hello,
 
I hope someone can help me quickly here.  I am rendering a 1 hr 11 minute film in just 1280x720 for use for audio score and the sound guy had wanted an H264 .mov file.
 
In Adobe Premiere, I don't have an option to select H264 and then also select .mov anywhere so I had to go H264 .mp4.  For whatever reason, he can't transcode to some other format he needs.  I'm a bit baffled by it.
 
I know if I select Quicktime in the dropdown instead of H264, it WILL be a .mov, however the file size usually climbs tremendously.  He informed me that Quicktime is a wrapper but I have no way to select H264 with a .mov extension that I can see.  Can some direct me how to do this?
 
Right now, H264, .mp4, 1280x720 at min 3 bits/8 bits, gives me a 1.6GB file and I need it about the same for online file transfer.
 
Also, this takes me about 5 hrs to render.  My native file in Premiere is about 14 individual DNxHD clips.  Is that typical or is there some "use native codec" that he mentioned to reduce time?
 
Appreciate the help.
 
Eric
