For 250 minutes on a DVD9 your bit rate would be 4.1mbps for the video =
assuming you're using .ac3 for the audio.=20
That's pretty low for compressor even running VBR with a wide range, so =
you might want to run some test clips to make sure that what you're =
getting looks decent enough for the client. =20
If you want to get the most out of Compressor (and you're doing this =
often enough to justify spending $800) I'd recommend the Cinemacraft =
CCE-MP plug in. It does a really nice job at the lower bit rates where =
Compressor often falls down.=20
