  • h.264 – mp4 vs mov

    Posted by Justin Young on February 22, 2012 at 5:47 pm

    When I render I have 2 options.
    1) Render as quicktime output module, using h.264 compression setting a % as the level of quality
    2) Render as h.264 output module, setting bitrate as the level of quality.

    What’s the difference between these? Anything?

    Also, what’s considered a good bitrate for 1080p output?

    Well for this particular project I’m delivering as h.264 which is why I asked specifically about that…..

    The first part is simply a technical question, shouldn’t matter what I’m expected to deliver…I’m just trying to figure out what the difference is between using the quicktime module to output h264 vs using the h264 output module.

    And the second part of the question was more a general “what’s gonna give me a high quality with no color banding etc”

    That’s good advice. Thanks.
