+1

Also ffmpeg plus a shell script can take on any compression = job.

Hey Chris,

You can use BG Renderer and ffmpeg=A0on the=A0command line=A0to do = it.=A0You can render to the a sequence then have BGR issue the command line= command as a post render action=A0to convert them to a WMD using ffmpeg=A0= once they are done. The render queue will also remain there for you to .

Hi,

This is a bit OT, but compression isn't normally my thing.

I'm working on a project where we will be supplying roughly 1000 indivi= dual clips as wmvs. =A0We're all working on Macs with no Windows machin= es around, and rendering from After Effects to image sequences.

It will be tedious to set up 1000 compressions so I really only want to do = it once... any suggestions are welcome.

Cheers,
