Book Reviews of Apple Pro Training Series: Compressor 3 Quick-Reference Guide (Apple Pro Training Series)

Book Review: Not particularly useful; just use the manual
Summary: 2 Stars

It's not particularly useful and too expensive given how short it is. A book that calls itself a "quick reference guide" should be able to deliver the basics to get you up and running, as well as the most important trouble-shooting issues. This does not deliver. Save your money and read the manual, it's just as useful and it's free.

Very disappointing, I own several of the Peachpit Apple Pro Training series and they are all much better than this.

Summary of Apple Pro Training Series: Compressor 3 Quick-Reference Guide (Apple Pro Training Series)

Whether you’re distributing dailies, authoring a commercial DVD, or prepping video clips for the Web, Compressor is essential for creating quality digital content. In this quick-reference guide, professional filmmaker Brian Gary reveals essential techniques for audio and video compression. Learn timesaving batch-encoding and test-clip workflows. Import files in Final Cut Pro and QuickTime formats and encode them for authoring in DVD Studio Pro. Use advanced codecs like H.264 to create standard- and high-definition content. Compress content for the latest hardware platforms, including AppleTV, iPod, and HD DVD. Export interactive podcasts. Add timecode window burns and animated logos during encoding. Take advantage of job-management strategies, such as job chaining. And save time with Compressor’s ability to handle hours of encoding unattended and then notify you by email when it’s done. With this guide you’ll master the art of minimizing file size and maximizing image quality.
