Question for Igor...

[Lin Evans]

Premiere Elements outputs a format with the extension .f4v After looking into this format I discovered that it is more or less a mp4 h.264 compatible format so I took one of my videos and rendered it with Adobe Premiere Elements as a f4v Then, noting that PTE does not "see" this file in the file list, I changed the extension to MP4, imported it into PTE and used the internal converter to output the compatible AVI which played perfectly by PTE 7.5 beta 6.

The question is: Could PTE not be made .f4v aware so that it would not be necessary to rename the file with a compatible extension to allow the user to load it and convert it? It appears that it's just an Adobe name for an MP4 h.264 file...

I also found this interesting tidbit about it which explains a minor difference:

Lin,

Thanks for letting me know about this file format. It seems to be an usual H.264 video. I'll add this format to a list of known-formats in PicturesToExe.

Please send me a short sample file.

Hi Igor,

Here is a link containing both the original mp4 created with PTE and the Adobe Elements conversion output.
