[ben g unguren] "If you want to watch your movies in real-time, you try rendering your movie to the H264 codec. This is easily done with your prerendered video if you have Adobe Media Encoder, or you can set up an Output Module in AE that will also render a nice, computer-playable-friendly version."
I always recommend the former (intermediate render), not the latter (direct render to H.264).
H.264 greatly benefits from multi-pass encoding, which cannot be done via the render queue.
