  I came across this comment in the help manual (IV-220).

  That might not produce the results you want.
  No real way of knowing until you actually encode some of the bladed material. Compression markers do not always produce the results you are expecting, depends on the source codec and target format. Compressor is on everyone’s poop list these days.

  This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

  David,

  Among lots of annoyances like batch failures and other things, Compressor 2 is painfully slow.

  But, regarding Compression markers, if you look at the 4th section of this article, there’s some pretty good advice and information.

  For me, Compressor does weird things when trying to use 2-pass mpeg 2. Near as I can tell, it’s including audio in the file, which increases the file size above what I can fit on a DVD for a 2-4 hour movie.

  That & the fact they won’t let you make mpeg 2 in half D1 or SIF resolutions.
