    Does chapter 21 (page 267-272) of the compressor 3 manual not cover what you need?

    Mux them together with MPEGStreamclip or re-encode and set compressor to produce a program stream rather than an elementary stream

    Good feedback.

    To be fair, F4M is a super cut down version of Episode, and just for Windows media. It’s like comparing QuickTime pro with compressor. Or Episode for that matter!)

    May 14, 2009 at 11:02 pm in reply to: The “skinny” on keyframes

    Typically for web video you’d set the KF rate to be 10x the frame rate (so for 30fps, every 300 frames)

    For Flash you may need to have this set much lower.

    Send them a clip at with a KF set to every 30 frames and see what they think. “Don’t play smoothly” is pretty vague.

    Too many forced keyframes usually hurts picture quality, but the customer is always right.

    Nice one!

    That works.

    Lisa, do a search here at he COW, there are loads of issues, not that different to yours, with compressor.

    As each professional setup is very different and without knowing about it in its details it’s nearly impossible to remotely troubleshoot

    May 14, 2009 at 9:52 pm in reply to: Mpeg2 stream for digital projection –

    [Stephen Vilas] “- the data rate should be between 80 mbits and 120 mbits
    – the ideal format would be: Mpeg2, AC3-soundfiles, multiplexed / .mp2
    – Formats that we do not play: E- cinema, JPEG2000 (digital movies from filmdistributors), Quicktime, no .m2a and .m2v
    – In addition, the dimensions for the screen are
    1080i = 1920 x 1080 interlaced, 720p = 1280 x 720 progressive (both are compatible for our screen). “

    They may have got their datarate a *little* too high. The maximum datarate for 1920×1080 MPEG-2 is 80Mb/s

    [Stephen Vilas] “Under the quality tab I notice that the maximum value for average/maximum bit rate is 40 Mbps. How can I make this between 80 and 120, as requested by the festival? “

    BluRay HD titles that use MPEG-2 at 1920×1080 generally peak at 40Mb/s

    I’d submit your encodes and ignore their datarates

    Thanks Chris.

    It looks like you need a valid Blackmagic serial number to download this?

    May 14, 2009 at 4:32 pm in reply to: Exporting from Final Cut with Compressor (for DVD)

    [Tom Marcham] “So far I have simply exported a Quicktime file from Final Cut, then loaded this file into Compressor and used the “Best Quality for 90 minutes” DVD preset.”

    You really can’t go too wrong with this workflow. If you don’t like the quality let us know.
