RSMB has very pixelated artifacts when rendering with H.264

When I rendered my video I was dissapointed to see that with my render with the motion blur it was very pixelated. When I paused it at a fast moving object or just when the camera moved I could see the blur being all pixelated. Anyone else experiance this? Also how would one fix it?

I have some footage with massive RSMB that looks fine with h264 render (via the default Mac Quicktime PRO export h264 best quality). Could it be your codec settings that are too low bitrate or something else?
specifying the software you use for the encoding and the purpose of the end movie (why you want an H264 at that res for, eg for website display...) - and that your source movie has a lot of motion blur.
Typically I am under the impression that for mpeg, noise (by extention everything that has noise like properties like waterfall) is worst then motion blur for an encoder.
If you look at the levels chart here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264 You will see that bitrate affects the number of blocks used to encode images. For the resolution you discuss, I think I read from the chart that at least level 4 is recommanded (over 20 Mbit/s -- 4 times more then what you said). The strange thing I noticed is sometimes using higher bit rate produces smaller file size. We here have only been successful for our purposes using QuickTime PRO on the MAC with Best Quality without touching anything. On Windows someone recommanded Tmpeg Encoder Xpress 4 but I have not tried it yet.
