  Compressor Mpeg Compression

  Posted by Mike Hayes on November 20, 2007 at 4:24 am

  Hi,

  I’ve had a client ask that I supply a trailer as an Mpeg. Normally I’d supply a mov. An Mpeg1 is locked at 352×288. Is there a difference between Mpeg1 and Mpeg? Any recommendations on settings?

  Thanks

  Mike

  Actually MPEG-1 allows frame sizes over 4000×4000, it’s just that some (most) transcoders don’t give you that many options with MPEG-1.

  Digigami do the best MPEG-1 encoder for the Mac – the quality of their HD MPEG-1 is pretty impressive:

  MPEG stands for Motion Pictures Experts Group.

  Invest some time using Google and Wikipedia, you’ll learn a lot.

  What version of Compressor are you using to compress to mpeg?

  Yup, slip of the fingers there! Thanks for the correction. I always get muddled up with the Motion Picture Editors Guild!

  I constantly say it wrong, it’s only when I see it written that I catch myself, haha

  Compressor 3 bro. Is there differences in previous versions?

  I’ll do some more research for sure. Just trying to get some quick answers for this client.

  Cheers guys. Awesome
