  • Settings to encode with Compressor

    Posted by Jacques Dedoire on February 23, 2009 at 1:07 am

    I have exported a quicktime movie DVD PAL ANAMORPHIC, 1024×576.
    The file is an 82-min documentary film.
    The first program I’m having is that my file appears as a 720×576 project on Compressor’s preview. How can I change that?

    I’m also wondering what settings I should use for the best results?

    1. Which MPEG 2 should I use? Elementary? Program? Transport?…
    2. Bit rate?

    All help welcomed

    Hi Fabrice,
    1024 x 576 Square pixels is not standard PAL Anamorphic.
    Your movie to go to DVD must be 720×576 PAL Anamorphic pixels.
    When you open this movie in QT, the clip will look distorted. This is normal because QT do not understand of pixels aspects and display everything as square pixels.
