  • Compressor h.264 quality stuck at medium

    Posted by Paul Dougherty on January 22, 2010 at 1:33 pm

    Using the h.264 codec I’m wondering why I can’t change the quality from “Medium” in the window called up by the Video Settings button. (It’s the same window where you select one vs multi pass.)

    “Standard Video Compression Settings” is the name of this window

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Did you set a datarate, or is one set for you by any chance?

    A datarate was already set, but then I set it much higher than the default as a test and nothing helped budge the “quality bar” budge off “Medium”

    You can set a datarate OR use the slider, not both. Obviously setting an explicit datarate is usually best.
