What version of Compressor are you using? The current version in Studio 2 allows you to create a muxed MPEG. Click on the inspector tab and then the second tab Encoder and then on Extras. Under Mpeg-2, check MPEG-1/Layer 2 audio and then select Program stream. This will give you a file with the MPEG extension that will play in quicktime or even a windows machine. I use it to encode for our Nexus video sever that runs on a windows machine. I just have to delete the E in MPEG in order for our Nexus to play it. In the previous version of Compressor I did have to use MpegStreamclip to get an MPEG file.

There is no difference between the academic version and the professional version. If you qualify for the academic version of FCP Studio 2 the cost to purchase it is only $499. This is for students and educational institutions that don’t use the program to make money. We received our Final Cut Studio 2 package about a month ago. It is identical to the professional version.

This was mentioned in a previous post. I have to encode .mpg’s for our Nexus media server. It is possible to create muxed files in Compressor but you have to do a quick file conversion in MPEG Streamclip to get a .mpg file.
Open Compressor and select and set up for MPEG2 Encoding. In the Inspector click on the Encoder tab (2nd from left) and you’ll see Video Format, Quality, GOP, Extras. Go to Extras and select Multiplexed MPEG-1/Layer 2 Audio. That’ll give you an MPEG-2 Transport stream with mlutiplexed audio. This encoding will take the normal time as if encoding for a DVD. I take this file and drag it into MPEG Streamclip. It is a very quick file conversion and the audio will take a slight volume hit. File-export with MpegwithMP2 Audio. After exporting the file, the extension will end with .mpeg – delete the e so that the extension is .mpg

I also encode for the Nexus. After you use compressor as described in
the previous post, you still need to drag the file into MPEG Streamclip. It is a very quick file conversion and the audio will take a
slight volume hit. File-export with MpegwithMP2 Audio. After exporting
the file, the extension will end with .mpeg – delete the e so that the
extension is.mpg The Nexus will recognize the .mpg file. Our Nexus is connected to a PC so I have to remember not to have any spaces in the file name.
