Export I-frame only MPEG2 in Apple Compressor.
Does anyone have ideas/advice on how to achieve I-frame only compression in Apple Compressor? There’s no setting for this. Perhaps there’s a workaround with the other settings. I can’t set the GOP to 1, so I am not sure how to go about this.

No clue as I never use Compressor. (I did look at it years ago and decided it was not good enough, even with the bit ‘A’ stamped on it.)
XDcam in SD is I frame only. and Compressor ‘should’ support that (Not very sure about Compressor, as Apple does make mistakes, XDcam HD had a wrong gop size so it was not conform specs)So, no clue why you want MpegII I frame only, (GOP of 12 is broadcast standard over here), but it is a valid combo of settings.
Why not switch to something that will do this? (FFmpeg probably does (never tried though), and is free.)hth,

I was given a spec sheet for deliverables and I essentially have two options:
1) Apple ProRes 422 HQ Quicktime files, but each one has to be done as an iTunes package with iTunes Channel configuration.
2) MPEG-2 transport stream as MPEG-2 I-Frame only; 50 Mbps for SD, 80 Mbps for HD.
I’d rather make the Quicktime, but having to make iTunes packages for each one for the amount I have deliver may not be a viable option.
Perhaps I’ll have to look into another app.

Is your focus on iTunes packages? I believe Compressor can do that. Telestream Switch can also do iTunes packages.
iTunes Store Package with Compressor

No, my focus is not on iTunes packages. My only other option is MPEG-2, but the requirements are I-frame only.

Apple Compressor does not do MPEG2 I frame. It will do IP (no B) but not MPEG2 I Frame.
Bothe Telestream Episode and I believe Sorenson Squeeze did. Episode it gone and Squeeze is EOL.
Adobe Media Encoder may do MPEG2 I Frame. Perhaps you can subscribe for just one month.
