Exporting .ts from compressor

Hi all,

i am trying to export from final cut using compressor, an mpeg2 transport stream that will contain encoded h.264 video...any hints on how to achive this would be really helpfull.

thank you

In Compressor, in the Inspector set File Format to MPEG-2, set Stream Usage to Generic, in Extras select Multiiplexed MPEG-1/Layer 2 Audio and check the Transport stream radio button. That'll get you an .m2t (MPEG2 Transport Stream). It won't "contain" H264 but you can certainly use H264 source to convert to MPEG2 Transport Stream.

Episode Pro has many more controls. You can set it to encode H264 as an MPEG-TS. You can download a free trial

Keep in mind it's a $900 program but if you're doing the kind of targeting the above indicates it's worth the money. Just bill your clients accordingly.

I'm using Episode Pro because of its flexibility as well as broad input and output codec support. I certainly think MainConcept will get you there too but I believe it'll cost quite a bit more to get the same broad codec support as Episode Pro.
