Compressor

Compressor is my favorite conversion tool at the moment.

Too many problems in the past with cleaner.

Compressor seems to produce more consistent results.
Doesnt mess with white points?

New in Compressor 1.2 Update



Support for MPEG-1 output files

Pixel aspect ratio setting for filters

Batches can be saved

Preview window improvements

Improved high definition to standard definition transcoding

QuickTime output files now include timecode

MPEG1 - great.
Compressor didnt support this before, and Cleaner always crashed - or produced really poor and messed up output last time i tried.
