Shane,
Are they better than letting the Kona 3 card do it, or is this more a subjective thing?

When you go to other workflows: web: download: quicktime 7 compatible: h.264 800 Kbps
and then go to the Geometry tab, on my 8 -Core with FCS 2 with all current updates, and change the pop up to 16×9 from 4×3 the numbers change to: 480×270.
Maybe you have a different version of compressor?

I understand why, but you would think if 270 is not going to work, Apple wouldn’t auto change it to 270 when you change the pop up from 4×3 to 16×9. If it won’t work they should auto change it to a number that will be divisible by 8.
I am not entering any numbers, just changing the pop up.
Maybe I wasn’t clear in my previous posts.

[Tom Wolsky] “Doesn’t work. You might try 484×272, but you may have to use 640×360. The vertical height is the problem. 270 is not divisible by eight. “
Interesting. When you change the geometry to 16×9 in the preset, Apple selects the 270 size as it auto fills by itself.
Thanks for the help. I’ll try your settings.

The default of that preset. Are you asking about the original media file I’m compression: 1440×1080 as it was HDV transcoded to ProRes 422 (HQ) at ingest.
The h.264 preset frame size is: 480×270
Is this what you are asking?

I think it is the h.264 800Kbps preset. It fails when I change the geometry of the clip from 4×3 to 16×9.
The Clip is about 17 minutes.
It will work when left at 4×3 but then I end up having to send the client an anamorphic squeezed 4×3.
I’m working with HD footage in ProRes 422 (HQ). I did the same compression with the mp4 setting, changed it to 16×9 and it flew through the compression job.
Either the h.264 800Kbps preset is corrupt, (I can use the Blu-Ray h.264 preset and it works fine), or we need an update to Compressor from Apple. In other words, it’s not my computer, operating system or install of FCS2, but something Apple needs to fix on their end.

Some more info. It only crashes when making an h.264 for the web. Apparently Apple’s product is not compatible with this codec. I can compress to MP4, DVD MPEG2 for Blu-Ray all day and night. It only crashes making h.264 for web. I can make an h.264 for Blu-Ray no problem.
Anyone have idea?

[David Roth Weiss] “Actually, the Boris dissapearing problem was caused by running the updater while FCP was open.
“David, I didn’t have FCP open when I updated. It did happen on two machines running Tiger though.

This happened here in Tiger but when I put in another drive and rebuilt the system to Leopard I didn’t encounter this problem. Might be Tiger specific.
