DV Transcoding Workflow

How you use Compressor to transcode your video into DV Stream format files depends

on how you intend them to be used. The basic steps are listed below.

Stage 1: Creating a Batch

As with any transcode, you need to start by creating a batch. See Preparing Compressor

for Transcoding with Custom Settings for more information.

Stage 2: Creating Jobs with the Source Audio Files

Import the source video files either by dragging them from Finder to the batch or by

choosing Job > New Job With File.

Stage 3: Adding Targets with a DV Setting to Each Job

Each of the jobs requires at least one target—in this case the jobs need targets with a

DV Stream setting. If there is more than one job, it is easiest to select all the jobs by

choosing Edit > Select All and then choose Target > New Target With Setting to apply

the same setting to all the jobs.

Stage 4: Submitting the Batch for Transcoding

Click the Submit button to start the transcode process. See Submitting a Batch for more

information.
