In April I pushed to GitHub my RewraptoMP4 Script I put together to help assist in creating proper MPEG-4 container files while being able to use the x264 QuickTime component in Compressor. Compressor only allows you to specify the codec being used when exporting to a QuickTime file, however it is possible to use QuickTime Player after the fact to convert a QuickTime Movie to an MPEG-4 without transcoding so long as the codecs are supported in the MPEG-4 container spec.
My primary reason for the extra work is that Google Chrome will not recognize a .mov file as a valid wrapper for video in HTML 5’s <video> tags.
Using Compressor
You need to make your Compressor preset using x264 as a normal QuickTime movie preset (use the table below to help with settings if necessary). You’ll then want to grab the script from GitHub and add it as a script to your preset.
Scripting Compressor isn’t very straight forward, while you can use AppleScript or launch a script using Compressor they fail to mention that the script must be saved as an application and the file is accessed by using on open.
Helpful Table of Limitations
Android information is rather limited. Official Android information is near non-existent.
