Working With Frame Controls
Compressor now offers high-quality transcoding from many different source formats to
many different target formats using advanced image analysis. That means you can now
do any of the following at levels of quality that were previously only available through
expensive hardware solutions:
 Convert video files between international television standards such as PAL to NTSC,
or NTSC to PAL.
 Downconvert high definition (HD) video sources to standard definition (SD), or
upconvert SD to HD.
 Convert a progressive stream to an interlaced one, or interlaced to progressive.
Note: The Advanced Format Conversions settings group in the Settings tab of the
Presets window has particular relevance to working with frame controls.
