Any way to set max file size in FCS Compressor?

[franklinsuperfly]

So I'm editing the reel of one of my actors and he wants an additional file no more than 50mb in size for a casting website. Is this even possible?

The TRT is 4:39. I haven't been able to find anything, but I wanted to ask just in case anyone knew of a way to set the max file size output to 50mb in Compressor

You can use a bitrate calculator to figure out your rate controls and then enter those manually into the encoder

Here is one for DVD video but by tweaking some of the features you can make it pertinent for your application.

Here is what I got.

4.5 minutes
Audio 128K
Video 1350K
= 50MB

If the audio isn't as important you could get a similar quality by using 64KBPS mono, and adding it back into the video. 1350K for even the most efficent h.264 encoder is very small. I highly reccomend finding an x264 encoder to make the most of your limited bits.

This one seems to plug into Compressor. Let me know your results.
