Default MP4 instead of MOV when rendering ??

I have a lot of files to cut out an then render from bigger MOV files.

When I render the cur sequences they end up as MOV-files !

I would prefere they end up as MP4-files because they are smaller !

I know HandBrake can do that but I have 100's to do, so ...

How can I get Reaper to produce MP4 files when rendering ?

Pls See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxlb4PNCt7M

06:09 - Render: allow specifying .aiff extension for AIFF files, .mp4 or .m4v for videos, etc

Thx for your answer and I've seen the video there, BUT ...

I DON'T have that output format he chooses AFTER the AIFF ... that MPEG4/MOV !

I only have one where I can choose as shown in the attached file ... and it gives me MOV-file when finished !

I got it solved so I can attach now !

Please name the file with the extension .mp4. You will export the mp4 file

No, you're wrong there - unfortunately !

I have just tried to render WITHOUT changing the extension - it results in a MOV-file with size 265Mb

Now I tried WITHOUT changing anything BUT the extension to MP4 - it results in a MP4-file with the size 265Mb = the same size as the MOV-file !

If I use HandBrake to reduce the MP4-file, I can reduce it to 53,9Mb !
So, just renaming the extension just makes a MOV-file in MP4-disguise !

How can I update my Video-formats in the Render.dialog so I can make a REAL MP4-rendering ?

Hi ksor,
it's because Reaper does not include all encoders, so what you have after installation of Reaper is MOV/MP4 container and only encoding option is MJPEG.
You have to install FFMPEG to have access to other encoding formats for MOV/MP4 container. Search forum for info where exactly to download which version.
