Compression trouble!
Hi all,
I have a very large file that I need to get small enough to be playable on youtube. As the source material was hidef, the exported base file was 80+ GB (at only 50 minutes running time!). I have run it through compressor and at an H.264 setting have managed to get it down to under 10GB, which is still too large. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get it smaller than that without losing sync/widescreen/other attributes. When I run the already compressed 9GB file through compressor for a second pass, it also comes out a mess. I am working against a deadline and am fed up with fighting this file! Any help or advice would be sincerely appreciated. (Ps, I am using Compressor through Final Cut.)
Thanks!

File size is data rate times duration. Basic math.

Please list your compression settings or upload a screen shot of the export panel.
