Great solution, Teddy.

I gotta admit it can be confusing sometimes, even for someone like myself who entertains the idea that I know a fair amount about this stuff. A long time ago I had a conversation with a Panasonic engineer who was talking about 720 and thinking, oh yeah, I do 720, meaning, 720 X 540 (or 486). Of course he was talking about 1280 X 720 but HD had barely scratched the outer reaches of my consciousness back then. This was in the 90s sometime.

I had a client ask for a "quicktime, an .mp4, and an .h264"

So I relabled the same file with three different extensions

They seem to think they can get an uncompressed file from H264, yes.

I'm searching for a clarity . . .

A client is asking for "H264 with the highest settings, 8bit uncompressed." H264 is, by definition compressed, correct? And though there are in theory, versions of H264 that are 10 bit, the garden variety H264 (created in, for example, Quicktime) is 8 bit.  So the only part of this request that makes sense is "highest settings," right?

Any insights greatly appreciated.
