Audio pops in video when compressed. Why?
I'm getting pops in the audio when I compress my videos through Compressor 4.2. The pops are not present in Final Cut, nor are they present when I "Share Master File" straight from Final Cut. The pops only show up after the video has been run through Compressor. And it doesn't seem to be because of any clipping in the audio, because it doesn't matter if it's loud or quiet.
Here's a snipit so you can hear what it sounds like.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
