Apple Compressor is a media compression and encoding application developed by Apple and used for encoding the original media file to other file formats. Apple Compressor can encode MPEG-1, MPEG-2 to MPEG-4, H.264, MXF and ProRes for playback or edition on any Apple product or program, convert NTSC file to PAL file, SD file to HD file, progressive file to interlaced file, expand the export options when exporting the output from FCP X, etc. But Apple Compressor still has some limitations, like better work with Apple devices or programs, it containing many bugs, its slow compression speed, its limited help to expand the output formats for FCP X, etc. If you are troubled by one of Apple Compressor limitations and want to try another Apple Compressor alternative, iDealshare VideoGo will be a good choice.
