    Hello,

    I am trying to get compressor to encode a 720×480 FCP export that is AppleProRes422, and I would like to know if it’s possible to get compressor to encode it to an MPEG-2 with SQUARE pixels… This option is grayed out, and that’s all I am after. I know why I am getting my MPEG-2 to playback 640×480, however I need it to play back at 720×480 for a specific playback device. Any help here would be great! Thanks…

    Or,

    Can anyone help me find the best way to mux an M2V and an AC3, AIFF, or WAV?

    I Have already tried MPEG Streamclip, and I can only get an MPEG-2 with MP2 audio, but the audio level drops quite a bit. I’d like to avoid that.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Crawford

    Best way to mux…could u open m2v with qt7 pro with mpeg2 decoder, open aiff….copy, add to movie, then save? Not sure if that is what u r thinking in regards to “mux”.

    Also, 720×480 isn’t a square pixel aspect…you’ll have issues trying to keep it square pix with most encoders…they try to be dummy proof. Episode has some good controls for making “non standard” resulting files.
