Compressor 4 – DVD encoding
Hi,
I just wanted to use the new Compressor and couldn’t find the right settings for creating a video and audio file for DVD encoding. In my old compressor 3, there was the folder with best quality 90min, which contain the template for MPeG2 and sound file, which I always tweaked to my liking, but used it as a departure point.
In the new compressor, I don’t find this option. What and how do I choose, to export CBR 7mbps, separate audio file?Thanx.

Hi Sascha,
You can use any Compressor 3 presets in Compressor 4. I have done this, so if you Just send me an e-mail at ronny(dot)courtens(at)mac(dot)com I will send you a ZIP file with all the Compressor 3 DVD presets.
Un-ZIP the file to get the “DVD Presets” folder. Then go to User>Library> Application Support>Compressor>Settings folder and drop the “DVD Presets” folder into the Settings folder. When you launch Compressor 4 you will see all your familiar DVD presets under Custom Settings.

Hi Sascha,
I made a mistake in my e-mail address, the first dot should not bet there.
I have sent you an e-mail with the presets. Enjoy!– Ronny

Just for anyone reading this down the road, Compressor 4 does have a preset for DVD. I’m not at a computer right now but I believe it’s in the “Disc” folder and is just a single setting that you can adjust. If you want to use the old preset you can drag it out of Compressor 3 to a folder, then open Compressor 4 and drag it in.

All the old settings were VBR when most of the time, especially for short form, CBR is the better choice. Lose the old settings.
