  <p>"One 720 p editable file in h.264 in an mp4 or AVI container with separate tracks for audio and video."</p>
  
  <p>My question specifically is: does h.264 even have separate tracks for audio and video or am I making a mistake?</p>
  
  <p>P.S.
  We know h.264 is really a presentation format, but the small adjustments we make re-render well enough and absolute perfection is not the goal.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any insight you can give me.</p>
