Hi All:
I just learned (what I thought was) a neat trick for rendering as MP4: specify ".mp4" in the Output>File Name when rendering. I just did that and, sure enough, the file rendered as MP4, rather than the default .mov I've been getting.

However, I thought the MP4 files would come out a lot smaller, but comparing the new one with the .mov version of the same project I get exactly the same file size. Anybody know why?
Thanks much,
Andrew
