Mimic Handbrake's default H264 setting

"...upload .mp4 without compression"

Um, no such thing .mp4 is a super highly compressed file.

Anyway, you'd have to open Handbreak, look at the settings. You should be able to see the settings in there somewhere. I haven't used it in ages. But look at the Inspector in Compressor, the Video section. Compare that to the Handbreak screen.

Start with the Apple Devices preset you've been using in Compressor's presets.

Duplicate it by right-clicking and select Duplicate from the pop-up menu.

That duplicate will be in the Custom group now.

Select it, go to the Inspector, the Video section, and there's where you're going to adjust things. Basically you're only going to set the Bit Rate. Everything else will automatically set to your original video's frame size and frame rate. Unless you want them changed. But you can easily get all the information you need by simply looking at the Handbreak screen and jotting down all the settings.

TTry using the preset for Apple Devices(best quality), adjust size, if required and then run it. After completion change the m4v extension to MP4 and select the "use MP4" from resulting dialogue. I've found my file size to be readily transportable over non broadband networks.

It's not obvious from looking at the GUI, but you can create an MPEG 4 custom preset directly. Click the plus sign in the Settings pane far lower left > New Setting and from the drop down dialog choose MPEG-4. In the Inspector > Video set the Profile to High and the bit rate to whatever you need up to a maximum value of 30 Mbps. Then in Audio, make whatever adjustments are needed.

But as BenB pointed out, the result is not going to be uncompressed; it will use an inter-frame form of compression.

My point about Handbrake was that the settings it uses are pretty opaque and as far as I can see there is no way of getting more details about the built-in profiles.

Suggest exporting a test clip from Handbrake with their default settings. Open with an app such as MediaInfo or VideoSpec and it will report the clip's properties in detail.
