“I figured that if renaming the extension forces PPro to bypass QT for the decode, then QuickTime shouldn’t get in the way of the image processing pipeline, thus mitigating QT related issues.”
Gerard I think you are missing the point. The original posters problem was in the EXPORTING of H.264.
Some stations require the Quicktime variant of H.264 for their dubs. That was fine when I was on a Mac but when I try to export that format from either Pemiere Pro CS6 or Adobe Media Encoder CS6 on my new PC the program crashes. The non-Quicktime H.264’s doe not cause crashes in either program. Any ideas?
This is an ENCODONG problem. Your solution is to change the DECODING process by changing the way it plays back. The stations want a Quicktime H.264 and he is having problems doing that.
