Apple updates Compressor to v 2.3
Posted by Helper Monkey
In addition to iTunes and QuickTime updates, Apple today released an update to Compressor, their professional compression software for generating high-quality video for use on the iPod, the web, wireless devices, and DVD.
No new features are mentioned. The new version (2.3) seems to just be a stability/performance release, and is recommended for all users of Compressor 2.1 (no word on what happened to version 2.2…).
As of this posting, it is only available via software update.
[UPDATE:] Although we haven’t had time to go too in-depth into Compressor 2.3, at reader’s request, we have verified that Compressor now has the option to export iPod video at 640×480. In our test, the 640×480 file is roughly 3 times larger than a 320×240 version of the same file.
Probably had to do with the QuickTime 7.1.3 update
Maybe it has support for the 640×480 iPod video as an export option.
Can you confirm?
Maybe it will actually be stable again.
I have verson 2.0.1 (no crossgrade because I’m not on Intel yet) and there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent upgrade for this version?
I have no iPod options like above, even for the lower res version. Am I missing something?

The crossgrade is Universal Binary.
