About the Export Using QuickTime Conversion Command

A QuickTime-compatible file may be any kind of media file that QuickTime supports,
such as an AIFF or WAVE audio file, a graphics file or sequence of still images such as
TIFF or JPEG, an AVI or MPEG-4 movie file, or even a QuickTime movie file.

Important:

Like the Export QuickTime Movie command, the Export Using QuickTime

Conversion command allows you to export QuickTime movie files, but in slightly
different ways. If you use this command to export a QuickTime movie, be aware that
this command always recompresses all video frames, even if your export settings use
the same codec as your selected sequence.
