MPEG2: Compresser vs QT Conversion

[Rich Rubasch]

Not sure if you can do this on the new Quad, but I got it back on both of my old dual 2.7 G5s by simply installing DVD Studio Pro 3. I made sure to rename DVD Studio Pro app so it didn’t install over it, but it was that easy. Now I have the Universal ap, Compressor 2.1 and all the new goodies, PLUS the MPEG2 exporter.

Which I also prefer. Constant bitrate, 6.5 mbps. Always worked for me.

Try it.

Hi Rich,

Well thanks for your help. Did as you suggested and we’re back in business.

And just to underline my point above I encoded the same clip in QTC with th esame settings and it was done in a time of 3’08”!!

So, that’s about 3x quicker than QTC on the DP2.0 and 10x quicker than Compressor 2 on the same machine.

So, with my faith in my new machine is pretty much restored, I think I’ll be flying QTC for a while yet.

Thanks.
