So far, it appears that I am getting good results using an uncompressed AVI as an environment map in 3ds max and rendering to a .MOV. For whatever reason, the encoder used in Premiere is terrible and the one packaged with max seems to work. I wish Autodesk had addressed this in the rules. Especially because most of us render to frames and use some sort of video editing software to encode.
