Quick question. Im trying export 5D converted to Cineform ProspectHD footage to the .h264 format.

Im using the cs4 production premium. Anytime I use the.h624 settings (hdtv1080 29.97) the resulting picture has a noticeable stuttering frame rate playback, however, when i use the Quicktime setting and choose the .h264 encoding options with the same settings, the resulting export is perfect.

Are there different brands of .h264??? And this why I am getting different results? And is there a better way to output to .h264 than what i'm doing? Thanks for any help in advance.

Can you post the specs on your machine? The other thing you can try is downloading VLC media player. It works wonders on machines that can't quite handle h264.

Sure, i have a DIY i7-920, win 7 ult 64, 12g ram, quadrofx 3800, cs4 produciton premium and prospecthd.

My system plays h.264 fine, its just encoding options to AME, the default h.264 setting produces the stutter while the quicktim>h.264 plays the perfect version. weird.
