Job action properties in Compressor
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 file to a new location.
The properties of job actions available in Compressor are described below.
Add to TV Home Videos
• Title: Displays the title of the file as you want it to appear in your Home Videos library on
Apple TV. You can type a title in the text field.
Disc-burning job actions
The “Create Blu-ray disc” and “Create DVD” job actions in Compressor include the
following properties:
• Output device: This pop-up menu specifies the device that the output files will be
formatted for. You can choose Hard Drive to create a disk image (.img) file or folder that
you can burn to DVD media at a later time using the Disk Utility application (available in
the macOS 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.
