quick, hi-quality previews?
my Mac has been rendering most of the day, so i can send my client some 800kbps H.264 files to preview a project. there are four segments (about 5-6 minutes each) and each one is taking almost 2 hours to render at this setting. also, these rendering the single movie files i had made of the actual timelines, which seems to be quite a bit quicker than rendering the H.264 from the whole (un-rendered) project sequence timeline.
i’m guessing the best answer here is to NOT do 800kpbs, but something smaller? any other ideas for quicker renders of this sort?
thanks again!

Use Sorensen 3 instead of the processor intensive h264.
If you have a MacPro and compressor 3 (FCS2) you can setup a virtual cluster in your machine to render faster and utilize those 8 cores.

H-264 is notoriously slow. Try Sorenson 3. If you are deinterlacing and/or changing the aspect ratio that will also add lots of time to your renders.
