Hello,
I'm struggling to release a lil' movie of mine that I've spent the past few days on perfecting in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (Mac). I've consulted the tutorials of this forum and browsed through a fair amount of websites, but to no avail.
Apparently, the Mac-version of Premiere only supports export into various formats in .mov containers (ie. Quicktime). Conversely, the PC-version only supports export into various formats in .AVI containers. This must be fantastically convenient for PC users, seeing that the various applications that encode into H264 .MKV files (such as the H264 AutoEncoder by DarkShikari) require .AVI source files. Unfortunately it seems impossible to have one of these applications accept H264 .MOV files as a source.
At first I conceived this as merely a matter of converting my uncompressed .MOV file(as exported from Premiere) to an uncompressed .AVI file through Quicktime, but unfortunately it seems that Quicktime cannot convert files larger than 1GB to .AVI. My file is about 40 times bigger.
In sheer desperation I spent another hour rendering my movie in Premiere into a compressed (35% quality) H264 .MOV file to see if the size was acceptable. Unfortunately, it still remains 700mb for 7 minutes. I don't know if the footage justifies such a size, and I'd rather avoid it alltogether because it would take 6 hours to upload and awfully long to download as well.
I *could* use the compressed .MOV file of 700mb, feed that into Quicktime and have it converted to an uncompressed .AVI (... and then feed that into the H264 AutoEncoder), however I feel the quality loss would be severe.
Any ideas?
Sorry for the wall of text,
Caelum.

u could send me the compressed file and i could try it to convert it.
what about convert it to wmv ( 5Mb/s) ? maybe the file is not 40gb and i would convert it to mkv. just leave me a evemail.

Thanks for the kind offer, CaPoNe, however I plan on creating more of these at some point and I'd hate to be dependant on hazzling someone to do my "dirty work". =)

Maybe this will do what you want: ffmpegX.
First encode to QuickTime mov and then to MP4 H.264 with ffmpegX. Doesn't look like it supports mkv, so I hope MP4 is ok :)

Thanks - I already tried this application, though. Unfortunately the file size remains about the same.

EDIT: SPELLING!!!
Just had a go at exporting quicktime movie and converting it in windows, and I was successful.
Goto "File -> Export -> Movie.. -> Settings"
General
Filetype:"Quicktime"
Range:"Work Area"
Video
Compressor:"None" (Its gonna be HUGE!!!)
ColorDepth:"Million of colors"
FrameSize/FrameRate:"your video resolution/FPS"
PixelAspect: "SquarePixels(1.0)"
Recompress:Unchecked
Keyframe and Rendering
Bit Depth: Use Project
Fields: No Fields (Pregressive Scan)
Uncheck all boxs below Fields.
Click OK.
Save MOV File.
Grab RAD Tools, install and run.
Select exported MOV file.
Click "Convert A File"
Select "OutputType" as AVI
Click "Convert"
Now once converted use your prefered H.264 encoder, I presonally use Staxrip.
Settings for staxrip are here Staxrip Settings
Once your done you can delete the .mov file to save space.
