Exporting to mpeg
I’m trying to create a Dreamscene background for Vista, but I can’t make After Effects export to anything but mp4, which is no t an accepted file type. How can I export to Mpeg-2 for example?

Just pick MPEG-2 from Format menu in the Output Module Settings dialog box.
If you’re not familiar with output modules and the render queue, then perhaps you should read the ” Render and export a movie using the render queue” section of After Effects Help first.
A very, very common beginner mistake is to use the File > Export menu. That menu is _not_ the way that you should render for final output for most formats. Use the render queue unless you have a really good reason not to. (Once you’ve read the “Rendering and exporting” chapter of After Effects Help, you’ll know what those reasons are.)

And that is just what I did. I managed to locate it on the output settings, though I must say it was not easy to find. I’ll also make sure to take a look at that video. Thanks.
