You can change the extension on the .mp4 file to .mov, and you'll have what the client wants at the quality that you want :)
The H264s that AME make are indeed much better than the ones that quicktime will make.

I'm told when making the QT H_264 Adobe Media Encoder uses the QT engine which is inferior to the internal code AME uses to make a .mp4.Now my quandary is if Avid is using the QT engine in the custom export, which has always been my understanding, why when AME uses the same QT engine is the result so much worse and blocky?I did make a .mp4 in AME and it is much cleaner. Now I will have to see why the network wanted an H_264 as a QT .mov and if they are okay with a .mp4. I don't know why they wouldn't be able to accept either but you never know what the internal workflow is and how flexible the configuration is.

I render a safe color to DNX115 which is the delivery codec required. I export a QT Ref and use QT Pro 7 to do a save as. I use the resulting file in Adobe Media Encoder and get the blocks. Avid export to H_264 is soft but not blocky, which is more pleasing to the eye.I don't do a lot of experimentation with compression etc... but I am surprised how visible the difference is given the data rate is the same.I would think Adobe Media Encoder 2015 would have very similar results to Avid using custom export/QT Engine. Are there any under the hood tweaks I'm missing in AME?John Moore Barking Trout Productions Studio City, CA bigfish@...
