Job action properties
Compressor comes with a set of job actions that are used in destinations as well as in jobs. The
job action assigned to a destination or job performs an automated action after transcoding—
usually copying the transcoded le to a new location.
For more information about adding or modifying a job action in a job, see View and modify job
properties on page 54. For information about choosing a job action that’s part of a destination,
see View and modify a destination’s properties on page 50.
The properties of job actions available in Compressor are described below.
Add to iTunes Library
•
Playlist: This pop-up menu sets a playlist for the output le to be added to. The choices in the
menu are automatically populated from your iTunes library. If necessary, you can click the
Refresh button to update the playlist choices.
•
Title: Displays the title of the le as you want it to appear in your iTunes library. You can type a
title in the text eld.
Disc-burning job actions
The “Create Blu-ray disc” and Create DVD job actions include the following properties:
•
Output device: This pop-up menu species the device that the output les will be formatted
for. You can choose Hard Drive to create a disk image (.img) le that you can burn to DVD
media at a later time using the Disk Utility application (available in the OS X Utilities folder).
Note: The items in this menu are determined by your system’s available options. For example,
when no Blu-ray or DVD drive is detected, only the Hard Drive option is available.
•
Layers: This pop-up menu sets the type of disc that will be created. There are three options:
•
Automatic: Detects the inserted disc’s type. For Automatic to work, you must insert the disc
before clicking Burn. Additionally, Automatic always creates a single-layer disk image when
Hard Drive is selected as the output device.
•
Single-layer: Creates output for a single-layer disc. You can use this option to treat a dual-
layer disc as a single-layer disc.
•
Dual-layer: Creates output for a dual-layer disc. When you choose Hard Drive as your output
device, the “Dual-layer” option creates a disk image in dual-layer disc format. Choosing
“Dual-layer” when using a single-layer disc may result in an error while burning the disc,
depending on the project’s length.
