  • mp4 compressor setting for daytime Emmys?

    Posted by Jason Levy on February 11, 2011 at 2:34 pm

    Hello,

    Trying to satisfy these conditions in a Compressor setting:

    Video
    Codec H.264
    640×480 (4×3) / 640×360 (16×9) square pixel
    Decomb or deinterlace

    Audio
    AAC audio 96Kbps CBR

    Container
    mp4 container .mp4
    1Mbps bitrate total
    Web Optimized

    But my file keeps getting rejected. Tried an MP4 setting but they don’t like that. It’s for a submission to the daytime Emmys.. they are not giving me a lot of info about what the problem is. Any suggestions? Even better does anyone have a compressor setting they’d like to share that they have used for an upload to daytime Emmy submissions?

    thanks jason

    When it’s rejected, what does the rejection say? Is this an emailed rejection, or are you uploading it to a website and getting rejected?

    The settings they give you are pretty basic and easy to follow. I would request a reason for the rejection, as you could spend many many hours tweaking settings blindly.

    They said they would get back to me with the detail but nothing yet.

    Would you use the mp4 setting as a basis (what I tried) or a quicktime / h264 setting if it was you?

    It’s a crapshoot.

    However, I wouldn’t waste time – I’d call them and get a spec sheet…but that’s me.
