I saved the new file under a different name and was able to drag it into a project. I don't see why the MP4 option doesn't just have the same encoder options that the quicktime container uses. Just found a workaround: Open your converted file with QuickTime Player. What I end up having to do is encode to Quicktime H264, then I open it again and export as MP4 but with a video passthrough - it's such a pain to do this on a lot of clips. It seems to me that it's because of the Quicktime with H264 slider, which looks like it does some sort of variable bitrate.
Sometimes I actually encode to mpeg-1 instead and that's not right, I shouldn't have to resort to using an older codec to get rid of blockiness but I actually get better results. Also if I use Quicktime's movie to mp4 with H264 instead of movie to quicktime with H264, the movie turns out worse (very blocky at points). I find a lot of movies come out desaturated. I wonder if the H264 update improves encoding performance. I downloaded the new versions of iTunes and Quicktime, only to have my anti-virus scream that there was dropper.generic in the download. Let Windows users pay for Quicktime Pro but give us Mac users it for nothing.
You'd think that Apple would do these things so that it's more beneficial to be on the Mac side. Now the wait until all the Pro features just come free with Quicktime.
