Quicktime x save as option

[jeb1]

Ok, i used to save mkv files as self contained files so i could import them into itunes. With the new quicktime x it doesn't give me that option but it says save as movie so i am assuming this will do the same thing. What is intriguing me though is the save as hd 480p and 720p options. Does this mean it will upscale a normal file into hd or is this just for saving already hd files??? Im confused, please help and sorry if im being an idiot.

Guys i really cant get my head around this new save as hd option. If i already have a mkv that is hd sureley i might as well save as movie (is this the same as self contained folder) or will i get better quality with the save as hd 720p option.

I’m not looking at it right now, so I can’t see exactly what you’re talking about, but I can tell you that it’s impossible for it to improve the quality of your movie. Saving at a higher resolution will just waste space.
