Q: Compressor 4.2 is making files 4x as large as Compressor 3
Hey All,
I'm outputting a simple talking head clip that's 2 minutes long, and I am completely at a loss as to why the difference.
Original file is H264, cut in FCPX.
I've tried outputting both a Master File, and the Send to Compressor option, and both give me a 74MB file. Using a Master File in Compressor 3 gives me a 17MB file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Compressor 3 Settings
960x540
H264
Quality: halfway between Med. and High
Optimized for Streaming
Key, Frame, and Data: Automatic
Encoding: Best
Audio: AAC, Mono, 44.1, Normal, 96Kbps
Compressor 4.2 Settings
960x540
QT Movie
H264
Pixel, Frame, Date Rate: Automatic
H.264 Profile: Main
Entropy Mode: CABAC (same file size when using CAVLC)
Resize Filter: Better (same file size when using fast)
Retiming Quality: Fast
Audio: AAC, Mono, 44.1, Normal, 96Kbps
NOTES
1) I can't find an option for Optimize for Streaming
2) I tried Web Publishing for Data Rate, but file size was even larger
Thanks in advance.

Duplicate the 540 Video Sharing preset. In the Inspector, Video, choose Custom for bit rate. Inter the rate you want. Click on QuickTime Settings Change button. In the drop down under Restrict to, choose Streaming.
Good luck.
