many uses, including:
Viewing on Apple devices such as Apple TV, iPad, iPhone,
iPod, or iTunes using high-definition (HD) or standard-definition
(SD) formats (including H.264)
Publishing to video-sharing websites including Facebook,
Vimeo, and YouTube using QuickTime
Burning to DVD or Blu-ray disc using H.264, MPEG-2 for DVD,
and Dolby Digital formats
Podcasting using H.264, AAC, and MP3 formats
Creating a package of media for submitting to the iTunes store
Compressor comes with built-in settings that you can use to
transcode files into the most common media formats. Compressor
also provides preconfigured destinations that transcode files and
then perform actions on the transcoded files. For example, if you
