Does Compressor Mux?
I think I’m using the correct terminology here…
I need to output a QT movie that uses the MPEG2 codec but also has the audio included in the QT movie, not separate.
All of the presets I see in Compressor output the audio separate from the video.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Scott,
I don’t think it does natively, but I’m pretty sure you can create a preset that would do this. There was aa big disscussion on adding presets a couple of months ago.

Thanks for the response.
Do you have any idea what I would be looking for in the Compressor custom settings? The only place I see anything about audio in the MPEG2 dialog is in the Extras tab – “Multiplexed MPEG-1/Layer 2 Audio: Select this to create an MPEG-2 Transport stream with multiplexed audio.”
Any other ideas or alternative software that does it?
Thank you

Hey Scott,
I saw that tab also, but I just tried it and QT can’t open the resulting file.
Cleaner will do a muxed file, as will Compression Master 3 and Squeeze Suite 4.1.

OK, thank you!
Do you use the Animation codec to take projects to those applications?
-
Sure, you can’t go wrong with Animation, but I also use uncompressed 8 bit, as that’s what I mostly work in.
-
Great. Thanks for all the info!
-
Say,
I’m just curious, what do you need a muxed mpeg for, playing from a server?
-
No, to play from a Windows PC’s hard drive. MPEG2 plays in WMP.

Scot,
You could also look into Popwire’s WMV component or Flip4Mac which are much cheaper than the other programs I mentioned.
-
Yes, I definitely need to get one of those and go out WMV9 at some point. I’ve never heard of Popwire. Thanks for the tip!
