How to get FASTEST compression help – PLEASE READ

[Craig Seeman]

iPad playback specs for 720p
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

No data rate mentioned though. This is going to be impeded in a webpage for iPad viewing. Try H.264 multipass encode at a data rate of 1500 to 2000 kbits/s but you may need to vary that depending on how it looks and what internet speed the viewer might have.

Hey Craig,

Trying to get a FCP7 file onto a bluray w/ a 5.1 audio mix.
First, do you know how to get 5.1 out of FCP7? Sequence settings for the audio? Should all be at -3db? Should L and R be at 0db, others at -3db? Export all as an AIFF? Order of audio tracks?

Next, I have a H264 video export. (sent to compressor and exported) How do I create the Blu Ray? Tried dragging into compressor to no success.

Thoughts?
