Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way in Compressor to compress a file WITHOUT changing its name. I don't want the spacifics in the new media title
For instance, A007_C010_0216HX.mov becomes A007_C010_0216HX-Apple ProRes 422.mov
Thank you!

I am doing this on Compressor 4, but believe this also applies to Compressor 3 - create a new custom destination.
When you create that new custom destination you will be given the option of the naming convention you want to use:
Default destination includes appended name:
Custon Destination does not:
Once you have set that up, make that custom destination the default by changing the default destination in Compressor preferences.

And fwiw, there are many free Mac OS X renaming utilities that allow you to batch rename files.
It can be very useful to have the preset's name appended to the output file name. I often experiment with different custom settings until I find the optimum one.
Compressor: How do you keep the file name the same?
