Creating MPEG-4 Output Files

If you want to customize your MPEG-4 Part 2 file format settings, you need to perform a
more detailed transcoding workflow than the one described above, that involves the
following steps:

Step 1:

Customize MPEG-4 video settings

1

In the Inspector window, click the Encoder pane and choose MPEG-4 from the File
Format pop-up menu.

The MPEG-4 Encoder pane opens, displaying mp4 in the File Extension field, and the
default Video pane.

2

Adjust the MPEG-4 video settings using the available controls.

Note: Make sure the Video Enabled checkbox is selected.

See “

Video Pane

” on page 155 for details about MPEG-4 Part 2 video settings.

If you don’t want to edit any other attributes, your MPEG-4 setting can be assigned to
any source media file in the usual way. See “

Preparing Compressor for Transcoding

” on

page 28 for more information. Otherwise, go to the next step to edit MPEG-4 audio
settings.

Either enter a number in the
Bit Rate field or use the slider
to set the bit rate.
