    why does everyone keep on going on about qmaster for compressor, it wont affect the speed on mpeg streamclip one bit.

    and compressor will not accept importing mpegs, unless i am totally misinformed.

    thanks for all the help though.

    [luke dollard] “why does everyone keep on going on about qmaster for compressor, it wont affect the speed on mpeg streamclip one bit.

    Uh no, it won’t, but it will speed up Compressor.

    It will accept some types, but not m2ts. Are those M2Ts from a camera? If so, I’d look in to ClipWrap and then use those QT movies for Compressor. ClipWrap simply gets rid of the m2t wrapper and uses a QT container. Check it out here:

    https://www.clipwrap.com/

    Once you get a QT movie, then use Compressor, with a Virtual Cluster and the deinterlace function in the Frame Controls Tab and you will be good. You can also change the resize filter to best in Compressor as well.

    Yeah I would use clip wrap. I have the same problem with HDV m2ts. I have 22 hours of m2t from a five day shoot. First I rewrap them using clipwrap which is considerably faster than mpegstream clip and it makes them 1440×1080 HDV quick times.
    But I need them in h.264 1920×1080 so I am using compressor with 4 instances running on 4 cores and 12gigs of ram. It still takes forever. 1 hour of footage takes 2 hours to convert. HDV and H.264 are not friendly codecs.

    You can run tasks concurrently, but still not utilising all processors…

    Start a batch list, at the bottom there’s an option for simultaneous tasks.

    If your processor is still not at 100% when using max simultaneous tasks, find the app, right click, go into MacOS folder then load up streamclip again, multiple instances, multiple transcoding.
