Is there any chance the devs could improve the stability of creating a playblast? It would be brilliant to be able to reliably create small H264 files, the option is there in Maya for it to be created but every time I try it, it doesn't work. It starts it, hangs, or skips straight to the end, and doesn't create a proper movie file. AVI seems to be really buggy too, and creates massive files.
The only setting that does seem to work is a Quicktime/animation file, but they are also massive.
