  Hi Jeff

  You will need to make a copy of the existing Compressor preset as follows:
  1. Select the MPEG2 Preset you wish to base your new Preset on
  2. Click the Encoder tab
  3. Click the Quality tab
  4. Make changes to Average Bit Rate and Maximum Bit Rate as required
  5. Click back on the Presets list
  6. A dialog sheet will prompt you to save the setting: Make sure you Save as copy, and give it a meaningful name
  7. Your new Preset will appear in the bottom of your Prests list

  Hope this helps.

  Regards
  Peter

  Is ok to encode at a low bit rate? It seems to be working..

  Hi Jeff

  Sure it’s okay, but the lower the bit rate, the lower the quality of the encoding.
