Basically, when I let Roxio make 16:9 mp4s for me (called "smaller size") for use in a video blog/video podcast feed, they come out "pixely." So I thought I'd try exporting it to an uncompressed AVI and let QT Pro make the .mov file itself.

So the question is: what settings should I use for an uncompressed avi?  Or... even better... what settings can I put in for an .mp4 that doesn't end up so pixely?  Roxio doesn't offer the option to up keyframes, etc. correct?

Thanks in advance...

I talked to QT just a couple of days ago and they suggested that a DV format would be the best to start with to make a mov file. I tried the DV to H264 conversion in EMC 9 and I didn't see anything better than with a high quality wmv file.  QT Pro may be different.
