 File Extension field: Indicates the file extension for this output file format. The file
extension .mov represents QuickTime. It is recommended that you don’t alter this field.
 Allow Job segmenting: This checkbox allows you to turn off job segmenting. It is only
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
more information, see “
 Video Settings and Audio Settings: These buttons open the QuickTime Compression
Settings and Sound Settings dialogs. Use these dialogs to select suitable codecs and
change other video or audio compression settings. See “

more information on these dialogs.
 Enabled/Disabled: Use these pop-up menus to enable or disable Video and Audio
settings. Enabled means the video or audio track will be included in the output movie.
Disabled means the video or audio track will be excluded from the output movie.
 Streaming: Choose one of the following QuickTime streaming options from this pop-
up menu:
 None: If you choose this setting (the default), your output media file will not
stream over the Internet.
 Fast Start: This option allows your output media file to be viewed even before it is
fully downloaded from its server.
 Fast Start–Compressed Header: This setting achieves the same results as Fast Start
(allowing your output media file to be viewed before it is fully downloaded from
the server), but the output media files are smaller.
 Hinted Streaming: This setting allows hint tracks to be added to the output media
file so that it can be used with a QuickTime Streaming Server.
 Options button: This button remains dimmed unless Hinted Streaming is selected from
the Streaming pop-up menu. Clicking this button opens the QuickTime Hint Exporter
Settings dialog, which allows you to choose extra hinting settings for your stream.
