mpeg 2 program stream

I have to provide an mpeg 2 program stream file monthly for playback of school board meetings & I'm looking for something other than Compressor to do it with. My main editor can do it, but then it's tied up all day rendering. The other system I have is too old to update compressor to do this file type. Any ideas?

dual 2.5ghz G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8), 5tb

What version of Compressor do you have?

FWIW, with Compressor 2 you can create a transport stream and then change the file extension to .mpg or .mpeg. I do that all the time and they playback fine on our two broadcast servers.

Compressor 3.0.5 on the main machine & 1.2.1 on the old. Never thought about the extension change. I've done that to create my own ringtones from m4v to m4r though!

I'm trying to remember if Sorenson Squeeze can make them. I had an old version that I didn't upgrade when I went to an Intel Mac with 10.6.
