QuickTime Export Components
You can use the QuickTime Export Components transcoding
format to output files for a variety of additional formats that can
play on third-party devices and operating systems, such as
mobile phones. You can transcode files for 3G, AVI, and Apple
iPod, or transcode using third-party plug-ins that you’ve installed
on your system.
The properties of custom settings that use this transcoding format
are located in the General inspector and Video inspector. These
properties are described below.
Important: When you add a setting (or a destination that includes
settings) to a job, Compressor analyzes the source media and
then automatically assigns the most appropriate setting properties
(based on the setting’s transcoding format and the characteristics
of your source media file). It’s recommended that you use the
automatically assigned setting properties.
