(the number of images displayed per second) for the output
file. For more information, see .
Field order: Use the pop-up menu to set the output scanning
method (either the field dominance or a conversion to
progressive scanning). There are four options:
Same as Source: Maintains the same scanning method
used by the source media file.
Progressive: Scans complete frames (not frames divided
into interlaced fields).
Top First: Scans interlaced fields, giving dominance (field
order) to the top field, also known as field two, the upper
field, or the odd field.
Bottom First: Scans interlaced fields, giving dominance
(field order) to the bottom field, also known as field one,
the lower field, or the even field.
Anamorphic: This setting applies only to standard-definition
video. If the source video’s doesn’t
match its , you can correct the image so
the output does not appear squeezed or stretched. Choose
Automatic to have Compressor scale the image based on the
frame size, or choose 16:9 or 4:3 to scale the image to a
specific aspect ratio.
Encoding mode: Choose an option from the pop-up menu to
set how Compressor encodes the output file: either faster and
lower quality, or slower and better quality. Options include:
Single Pass CBR: This is the fastest MPEG-2 encoding
