No. (which is unfortunate and frustrating for those of use who bought QuickTime Pro thinking Vegas would support it like other applications do)

You can create AVC/h.264 MP4 files with the Sony AVC encoder that will play fine in QuickTime.

you can use super to rewrap them in a mov container if you absolutely have to have mov.

You can rename the .mp4 extension to .mov if a client insists on that extension. The actual wrapper differences are so slight it is unlikely anyone would know the difference in normal circumstances.

I recently had a client who would not accept anything but h.264 in a mov file.
(My client is an idiot).

Export in uncompressed mov, load it into QT Pro then export from QT Pro.

Good enough for my client.

Thanks all, much appreciated.

Had to ask 'cos I'm getting so many requests from clients that have Macs and keep saying (in their technology ignorance) that they will only play H.264's in Quicktime Player.

I'm tired of doing the 'export out uncompressed and re-import into QTPro' to get these files so was trying to see if there was a way to get it straight out of VPro.
