Aha you are using 3ivx, which is the older type mpeg4, rather than h264, but is superior in speed and quality to apples mpeg4.
Certainly when it comes to mpeg4 rather than h264, theres a lot more choice of encoders & editing apps that may have built in export. 3ivx on Windows may not even need quicktime pro to work, I cant remember. Its a real shame that something went odd at 3ivx and they havent released any updates or new versions for what seems to be years now. So for those still wishing to use their stuff, and create ipod & apple-tv compatible mpeg4 instead of h264, its harder to recommend 3ivx than it used to be. They have also annoyed some of their users/customers by repeatedly stating release dates for the next version of 3ivx, and then failing to release at all for ages afterwards. This year, they announced 3ivx 5 in January, but it didnt materialise. Then it was about to be released in February, with the assurance that just some minor thing was preventing release. Now it June and it might come out on Tuesday apparently, but based on past history it will be a minor miracle if this happens. At this rate mpeg4 will be obsolete, totally replaced by h264, by the time they update! Bugs that have existed in Mac version since Tiger came out, are in danger of being joined by new problems when Leopard arrives!
