About the H.264 Encoder Pane
This section contains detailed information about the elements of the H.264 Encoder
pane in the Inspector window. You make your H.264 settings using this pane, by either
modifying an existing setting or creating a new setting in the Settings tab of the
Presets window.
Note: This particular Encoder pane is devoted to encoding H.264 files intended for
authoring high definition (HD) format video DVDs. For information about using H.264
for other purposes, see “

relevant if you are using Compressor with distributed processing and with two pass
or multi-pass encoding. (The Compressor 2 distributed processing feature is limited
to computers that have either Final Cut Studio or DVD Studio Pro 4 installed.) For
