Have I missed something here?

1211164 2011-06-23 23:01:00 Yes that's correct.

MP4 is a container format. Think of it like a pencil case. Inside the pencil case you can have a variety of different pens, pencils, erasers (audio / video codecs, subtitles) etc.
en.wikipedia.org

h.264 is just one of the many codecs that you can put inside the container. Previously they also supported the AVI container, but it was pulled because support for the format has been 'broken' for a while.

Try a few output options and let us know how you go :)

Thanks for your help but I'll flag that option if it's going to be a hassel.
I find the photo viewing option works great though & it plays MP3's great through the surround sound system.
