Application Support/Compressor/Settings/, with the file extension .setting. You can distribute
and share any of your custom settings by placing them in the same location within the home
folder of whatever computer you distributed the settings to. You can also transfer these files the
same way that you would distribute any other file, by emailing them as an attachment or placing
them on a server.
