  creating muxed MPEG file from FCP

  Posted by Michael Williams on July 16, 2011 at 9:50 pm

  I have a series of videos that need to be encoded to the following specs (from the end user)

  “Standard Definition MPEG Parameters

  – MPEG1 or MPEG2 files must be encoded as a Program Stream.
  -Elementary Video stream must be Main Profile Main Level MP@ML 4:2:0.
  -Elementary Audio Stream is optional and must be MPEG layer II at a frequency of 44100Hz with 192kbps.
  -Constant Bitrate CBR
  -The main resolution supported is 720 x 480. (16:9 Resolutions are supported based on Television)
  -Supported Bitrates between 4 – 6 Mb/s normally provide good quality SD images and is preferred”

  I am using FCP 6.0.6 and trying to use either Quicktime, Compressor or MPEG Streamclip (or some combination) I thought Compressor would be the easiest, but when I use the multiplexing option, it does not allow me to alter the frequency or bitrate of the audio. So, I thought I could do the video in compressor and create the audio elsewhere, then mux the files in MPEG Streamclip and I can’t seem to make that work.

  cut to the chase…does anybody have a good working solution for delivering to these specs?

  FCP 6.0.6
  MacPro with OS 10.5.8

  thanks much.
