I know - I've delivered those myself. But never as the primary output. Even if it's on a separate thumb drive dropped in the mail or in my own client archive, there is a proper quality version because invariably there are changes and likely a couple of years down the road.

Repeatedly outputting a h.264 master from an h.264 with CC, edit and other changes quickly goes bad.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
–Stanley Kubrick

You would think - but some local television stations actually specify
h264 for delivery of commercials for air. Big markets, too.

> But h.264 as a final for clients? I can't imagine doing that. ProRes 422 or Avid is about as uncompressed I would ever deliver. H.264 is just a proof/web format as it just won't holdup to much after that.
