How to Get Audio in Mp2 movie from Compressor?

[bena]

I was playing around with making an mp2 of my scifest entry, and was wondering if anyone was able to use Compressor to make the mp2 file with audio?

Please tell how you imbedded your audio using compressor.

Thanks

Let me post this quote in answer to your question. Link to Bitvice Helper below.


ok i'm gonna try and do a rough tutorial on how to get this thing together. the things you will need are: your finished movie, compressor and bitvice helper, to get bit vice helper search google for it, its free.

with your movie on your timeline de-interlace it, render it and then select file>export>using compressor..
when compressor opens there will be a few windows, the bottom, your batch you will see "source media" and click on setting drop down menu and select dvd best quality 90 minutes 16:9>mpeg-2 6.9....
the top right window in compressor is your inspector. change frame rate to 23.98. video format ntsc and click on the quality tab. i put my max at 8.9 and average at 7.5.
you can change your gop from 12 to 7 if you'd like, it will help if there is a lot of fast motion.
in extras i just noticed the mulitplex mpeg1/layer2 audio, not sure if that will mux the audio with it, i'll give it a try afterwards.
the next thing you will do is crop the image. in the preview window you will see red box, right side is your video source, left side is what your destined file will be like.
when you are ready to export it click on destination source and choose where you want to save it.
click submit. it'll do its thing. mine is saying like 21 minutes but its going down a lot faster than that(dual 2.0 g5 w/2.5gb ram)

now i am gonna wait cause i chose that extra mulitplex audio deal and i'm gonna see what that does. but this gets you to a good part of where you need to be.

if you have that bitvicehelper program open that puppy up. click on start, find your m2v file, then find your audio file(which you will export from your fcp timeline, standard aiff) then you choose your destination and it does its thing. when i tested it two time after it did its thing my computer started the bing'n like someone were sitting on the keyboard, i close the two windows that opened from encoding the muxing and it stopped, then i had my mpeg file in my chosen destination.

hope this helps.
