Alternatives to COMPRESSOR

Question

Alternatives to COMPRESSOR

I upgraded to OSX Mavericks when it first came out and now I've run into a problem. The new OS does not support COMPRESSOR so I need some alternatives. I used compressor to convert videos that I edited through FCP to conver them into video files for DVD making.alte

I currently need an alternative program for the mac to convert my video into both a BluRay file AND a DVD file (I need to burn 3 blu ray discs and 1 dvd disc). Any suggestions?

Also read somewhere that you could maybe just export out of final cut and into the setting I'd need but is that possible? And if so, what are the specific export settings? I usually just use the "convert to bluray" or "conver to dvd" option in Compressor so I don't know what the specific settings have to be.

You could go to the app store and buy Compressor 4 which is supported.

Compressor 3.5 is actually supported in 10.9.

The issue that has been discussed on these boards at length is setting up clusters in Qmaster.

So go ahead and use C 3.5 to burn simple DVDs and Blu Ray disks – or to create the files for a third party authoring program.
