You are zoomed rather far in in time. Zoom out in time:

Use Adobe Media Encoder to create files in final delivery formats like .mp4 from After Effects.

I recommend using Adobe Media Encoder to create the DVD files. You can add a composition from After Effects to Adobe Media Encoder; in After Effects CC, you just use the command Add To Adobe Media Encoder Queue.

> My only hesitation about ProRes 444 is that Windows won’t play it.
That is not correct. QuickTime on Windows can play any of the ProRes flavors. It’s encoding (writing, creating) ProRes files on Windows that is the problem.

ProRes 4444 (which Jeff is referring to) is lossy, but it loses _very_ little information in one or two generations of compression. I use it as an intermediate codec when doing compositing work for webisodes, and I don’t find any crucial information to be lost.

I would be very surprised to learn that any H.264 compression result could possibly be lossless.
What is the purpose of these files? Are you using them as intermediates in a post-production pipeline?

Show a screenshot of something that isn’t confidential that shows the issue. It’s important that we see your settings in the Composition panel, as well as your Composition Settings dialog box and the file information for a footage item in the Project panel.
If this is only happening with some specific footage—only your confidential footage— that itself is useful information, and we need to know as much as possible about that footage.
