"Computer" format does not allow for choosing video codec

I am trying to export as an mp4, and so my only choice is to choose the "computer" format option in the export settings, but when I do that, I can't choose the H.264 Better Quality option. It only allows the H.264 Faster Encode option. It won't even allow me to change it. I haven't found anything about this issue anywhere else.

Update to FCP 10.6.1. Better takes more than twice as long for no discernible difference except a smaller file.
