the default save location for transcoded files.
Format: Use the pop-up menu to set the stream type for the
output file. There are three options:
Program Stream: This stream type contains only one
MPEG-2 content channel and its associated audio.
Program streams require an error-free delivery method
and are primarily used for storage or processing within a
computer.
Elementary Stream: This stream type contains only one
MPEG-2 content channel and no audio. When you select
this option, you should also set the “Stream usage”
property.
Transport Stream: This stream type can contain several
MPEG-2 content channels and associated audio. All the
channels are multiplexed together, allowing the receiver to
choose which to play back. Compressor supports creating
single-channel transport streams that can also include
associated audio. Transport streams can also recover from
interruptions during playback, making them ideally suited
for broadcast and streaming applications where noise or
network congestion can lead to interruptions.
Stream usage: Use this pop-up menu to specify the MPEG-2
transcoding output. Compressor modifies the available
properties based on the option you choose:
Generic: This option allows you complete access to all the
