    Ya know what is SUPER funny? Comcast said that they could only accept 720 x 480 SD lol…. SO the video ended up letter boxed and lower quality. WONK wonk.

    In short, I did get the MP4 to work. and I also was able to change the file to .mov by just changing the name from mp4 to mov

    Wow, all that work for nothing.

    Yea, the MPEG4 container is a subset of the QuickTime container so renaming the files works really nicely.

    Hello
    I’m real new to this but I have a question.

    You mentioned to RENAME the file HOW DO YOU RENAME THE FILE.

    – Render to MainConcept AVC or Sony AVC. Both will produce an AVC/H.264 MP4 file. Then just rename the .mp4 file to .mov and send it off. MP4 is a proper subset of the QuickTime MOV container.

    Can you be specific.
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    [Mark Tara] “You mentioned to RENAME the file HOW DO YOU RENAME THE FILE.”

    Change the extension from .mp4 to .mov
    For example, myvideo.mp4 is changed to myvideo.mov
    That’s all there is to it.

    What formats does the film festival accept? That’s the first question. Usually the Internet templates and high quality. You can always adjust the bit-rate to get the file size you want and with MainConcept AVC you can select the 2-pass option to get the best quality for a given bit rate.

    Hello John,You can rename files .m2ts and .m2t as .mov?

    [Hugo Burgos] “You can rename files .m2ts and .m2t as .mov?”

    No, I don’t believe that you can. You can rename MP4 files as MOV because the video is AVC/H.264, but m2ts files are MPEG-2 Transport Streams. They would need to be re-wrapped in a MOV container, not just renamed.
