New blender update doesn't let me render in MP4 After Blender 2.79 dropped, I can't seem to render in MP4. I have attempted to use the FFmpeg video option they added, but no matter what I choose in the encoding tab, even presets, the render always ends with a useless unreadable file.

Does anyone know what I have to do to fix this?
Windows does not understand a file without an extension at the end of the name.

In this case (an MP4) you need the name of your file to be name.mp4 for example.

To have blender assign an extension to the name automatically enable File Extensions
