Matrox MAX H.264 settings in Apple Compressor
• High-Quality Use these settings for high-quality encoding of QuickTime
files. With these settings, the encoding is performed entirely by the MXO2
hardware, which frees your system’s resources for other tasks.
°To assign a Matrox MAX H.264 setting:
1 In Apple Compressor, add the source media file that you want to export as an
H.264 file to the
Batch window in Compressor.
2 Drag the desired Matrox MAX H.264 setting from the Settings window to
your source media file (job) in the
Batch window.
3 If you’re exporting to Blu-ray format and you want to export audio as well,
you must add a separate audio setting to your
Batch window. Matrox
provides predefined audio settings for each of the Matrox settings, however,
you can choose to use another audio setting.
4 Choose a destination for your job’s targets and submit your batch as you
would normally.
Creating a custom Matrox MAX H.264 setting

Matrox MAX H.264 setting, you can assign it to your source file in Apple
Compressor using the steps described in “Assigning a Matrox MAX H.264
setting” on page 82.
