Customer Reviews

Fantastic book on Compressor!

An easy read, I read through this reference guide over the course of 2 days. When complete I dove into Compressor and am now considered our production company's expert in it. It actually saved us over $1000 when I discovered through reading the book that Compressor can handle Reverse Telecine, making renting a HDCam deck for a specific job unnecessary. I highly recommend this book. I first heard about it when I saw the author on the MacBreak TV podcast.

Top Notch

All those nagging encoding questions about what GOP structure to use, what's the difference between "best" and "better" motion estimation, etc are answered here once and for all. This is an excellent resource well worth the 25.00 price of admission. It will pay for itself with increased production quality and productivity. Thank you Brian Gary!
