SFM not detecting Quicktime

[erandas_vs]

Hello,
I have managed to make a movie, but it is exporting as a .avi file format poorly. I would like to export it as a .MP4 file format. I have downloaded Quicktime, but SFM does not seem to recognize it, telling me to download Quicktime to export in more file formats besides .avi. Does anyone know how to correct this?

It doesn't even let me export it as an MP4

NECRO ALERT!

Highly recommend to remove Quicktime once and for all.

Using AVI option is a bad idea as it can corrupt in the middle of rendering and produces an uncompressed video file of 4GB in size even the video is a few seconds long. If you render a long video, the result would be a horrible color and sound distortion on the most part of the rendered video.

Secondly, using MP4 and MOV option are also a bad idea as the render would create a video with bad to mediocre quality like desaturated colors and darker look, and Quicktime app which is required for MP4 render option is no longer updated for Windows and being a security risk to your PC[www.us-cert.gov]. It’s best to remove it once and for all for your PC sake. If you really insist, install Quicktime Essentials component only as I'd discovered that it's the Quicktime Player itself that is problematic while the component is fine.

Though, I won’t recommend it either especially if you want to render long video with no video quality compromised whatsoever and low chance of crashing.

The most recommended method is using image sequences option for best video quality, faster render speed and far less chance of corruption and crash, and use a software like Blender, Sony Vegas Pro, Adobe Premier, OpenShot or VirtualDub to compile them into a video format you want. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=375229570
Although rendering and encoding in different stages might sound like more work, image sequences are the standard for experienced artists (for pretty much any rendering program), as saving out frames to individual files to assemble later (rather than trying to encode the entire video at once) is much more stable and cannot completely pooch an entire time consuming export if the program crashes mid-render.

Note that it is (probably) fine to export as AVI, MP4 or MOV from your video editor of choice, as the problem is with how SFM handles these formats, not the formats themselves.
