If you have to upload your advert to Dubsat follow this Tutorial to compress your advert using Compressor. The settings I have used here have been recommended by Dubsat. ”MPEG2 files - MPEG 2 files can be provided as a single file containing the combined (multiplexed) video and audio or as separate audio and video files. Target encoding rate is 15mb, supplying a file encoded at 8mb or above produces good results. On average a 30 second commercial encoded as MPEG2 will be approximately 35mb. The audio in the program stream should also be MPEG encoded and not supplied as raw PCM.”

- Follow the Below Steps -

STEP 1 - Open Compressor and in the settings window click on the [+] drop down menu, “Create New Settings” button and choose MPEG2

STEP 2 - In the Inspector window Name the new Setting and add a Description. Next change the Extension from m2v to MPEG. In the Video Format tab Change the Video Format to PAL, Aspect Ratio to 16×9 and change the Field Dominance to Progressive. Click on the Quality tab.

STEP 3 – Click on the Quality tab and change the Mode to “Two Pass VBR Best”. Next change the Average Bit Rate to 15.0 and the Maximum Bit Rate to 18.0.


STEP 4 – Click on the Extras tab and tick the box next to Multiplexed MPEG-1/Layer 2 Audio. Next choose Program Stream.
