    Open Compressor and select and set up for MPEG2 Encoding. In the Inspector click on the Encoder tab (2nd from left) and you’ll see Video Format, Quality, GOP, Extras. Go to Extras and select Multiplexed MPEG-1/Layer 2 Audio. That’ll give you an MPEG-2 Transport stream with mlutiplexed audio.

    Hi,
    if that works, ok. Otherways download the tool ffmpegx, which gives you way more possibilities to compress, encode, decode, mux, demux … than any other tool. It costs 15 usd, but it’s worth it.

    I also encode for the Nexus. After you use compressor as described in
    the previous post, you still need to drag the file into MPEG Streamclip. It is a very quick file conversion and the audio will take a
    slight volume hit. File-export with MpegwithMP2 Audio. After exporting
    the file, the extension will end with .mpeg – delete the e so that the
    extension is.mpg The Nexus will recognize the .mpg file. Our Nexus is connected to a PC so I have to remember not to have any spaces in the file name.
