How to get mp4 in 640 x 360 resolution ?

Start with one of the Apple Device presets. In the Encoder pane, there is a gear icon to the right of aspect ratio. Click on that and 640X340 should be one of the options. If it isn't, go to the geometry pane to custom resize.

Good luck.

Ryan,

When you create a batch, the batch can have many "jobs" (such as make a small file out of a big file so it can be uploaded to the Web, and so forth). See Getting Started Quickly, p 12–18.

The easiest way is to start with a batch template and then adjust the presets to your liking. To access these controls, select the job in the batch (not the batch or the source file) and open the Inspector. You'll see several different tabs. The first pane summarizes the settings that will be applied if you do nothing. The others include the controls for encoder, geometry etc.

I strongly recommend that you get a small piece of test footage and experiment with these controls to see how these controls affect your a/v files . And the best way to make sure you get your $ worth from your Compressor purchase is to become familiar with the manual – and perhaps learn from a tutorial from someone like Lynda.com or Ripple Training.
