 A Word About H.264 Profiles 

The "plain" H.264 option generates files with the extension 
.mp4. In addition to this option, SnapStream also offers two other "wrappers" for H.264 files: a "transport stream" wrapper, which generates files with the extension .tp, and a "Quicktime" wrapper, which generates files with the extension .mov. All three H.264 options use the same quality profiles
