I've been trying MeGUI, and although the video plays fine using vlc and ffdshow, MediaInfo won't recognise the video stream.

Also, I sent a test clip to a friend with a mac and he reported that the file played on quicktime but it didn't play smoothly. It was a small 320x240 clip and his mac is powerful enough to play it, so the cpu isn't a problem.

quicktime seems to have problems with more than 1 b-frames. we tend to call quicktime also craptime ;)
if you want to encode a stream with x264 for playback on quicktime use sharktooths qt megui profile

he reported that the file played on quicktime but it didn't play smoothlyThe problem is most likely that the file wasn't encoded with the featureset QT can handle.. it's a very limited player.

Thanks for the info - it's the same on quicktime for windows (which I just installed). I'll try the profile you mentioned.
