One thing to keep in mind is that an H.264 .mov isn't quite the same as a H.264 .mp4. You can convert between them in QT Player or other utilities without re-compressing.

On the other hand you can just relabel between H.264 .mp4, .f4v and .m4v files.

Is .h264 a valid extension?

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.
