MP3 and DV Output Formats
New output formats were added for the MP3 audio format and DV video format. These
new output formats make it much easier to create output files in these popular formats.
TARGA Format Image Sequences Now Supported
In addition to the TIFF image sequence output format previously supported,
Compressor now supports creating TARGA image sequences. The TIFF output format
setting choice is renamed to Image Sequence, and includes a pop-up menu for
choosing the TIFF or TARGA output format.
Image sequences, which are folders with sequentially numbered still image files
representing video frames, are used by some compositing and processing applications.
Enhanced QuickTime Movie Outputs
You can now add a variety of metadata to QuickTime movie output files. Additionally,
any closed captions, annotations, and chapter markers previously added to your source
media files are preserved and passed on to the output media files.
 Closed captions: Compressor adds the closed caption file as a closed caption track to
the QuickTime output file. You can view the closed captions using QuickTime Player
(version 7.2 or later).
 Annotations: You can add annotations, such as artist and comments, to your output
media files.
 Chapter markers: You can add chapter markers to the output media files. You can
also assign URLs and artwork to these markers.
