Compressor

Postby c20ona on Sun Aug 24, 2008 10:43 pm

Ok, maybe I'm just being a little thick here but I'm looking for a little guidance regarding the FCS Compressor 2 application.

My query ? - Exporting video. When exporting some footage I'm met with numerous formats and sizes (duration) to choose from, which is great.
However in regards to the size / duration, does this mean that if for example I select a 90min option would this mean that the video will completely use up the 90mins available on the disc ?.
Or does it mean that if used with another four short videos, they will all fit within this 90min available limit ?. Does what I'm talking about make sense ?.
If not, then another example would be that I've got two films that I want to burn to disc and the total duration of these films accumulates to 90mins (including DVD menus etc).
So would I choose the 90mins option for both or would I need to select two 45min options instead ? (or something like that anyway).

I've checked the internet, tutorials and the manual to see if there has been more info surrounding this part of the process but bog all has surfaced.

Any info would be greatly appreciated guys

Regards

Kenny

OOPS! just looked at the date the message was posted!!!!

Here is the way you should think about it...

It is a ruff estimate on the video conversion quality and final size.

So if you had a video clip(s) which was are just over 95 minutes in total then you would choose the next one up. 120 minutes just to be safe.

Hope it helps.
