I dont believe you are able to export to H.264 using QT. You have to use the Mainconcept H.264 (.mp4) option inside Vegas.

Yes, QT worked great, even made a nice export for web using h.264. I do not see the option anywhere in V8, under QT .mov options or Mainconcept .mp4. I must be looking in the wrong place, but I do not see the option, closed I can come is h.261 and h.263. The .mov files from QT with h.264 are great, no noticeable video degradation. I don't mind using QT, but I'd rather stay inside V8.
Any idea where I'm going wrong?
And thanks for the reply p@mast3rs, I see your posts a lot and appreciate your input.

H.264 is also referred to as AVC (advanced video CODEC), which is how Vegas 8 Pro refers to H.264 (i.e., MPEG-4, Part 10) in the "Save as Type" field of the Render As dialog box. The two H.264 options are MainConcept AVC/ACC and Sony AVC.

I am not 100% clear on the differences of the two CODEC implementations, but the MainConcept seems to be limited to SD and lower frame sizes whereas the Sony H.264 implementation has HD frame size options and allows you to control whether the H.264 encoded content is placed in an MPEG2-TS wrapper or is placed in a MP4 file format (which is what the MainConcept AVC option uses).

Thanks rtbond, I gave it a try. Using the Sony AVC format, it created an mp4, but it was not nearly as clean as the Quicktime .mov. It takes Quicktime longer to render, but it is almost identical in clarity to the original avi.
Sony, can the h.264 codec be included under Quicktime, along wih the h.263?
