How export Standard Def I still need to produce standard def videos. I used to author standard dvds using mpeg 2 but I would prefer to encode it as a Mpeg 4 H.264 that could be burned to a data dvd or uploaded so it can be played on any pc. The problem I don’t see any settings in Compressor for Standard Def Mpeg 4. There is settings for Apple devices but it wants to change the resolution to from 720x 480 to 640x480 it doesn’t all you to control the pixel aspect ie video aspect gets changed. I’m also concerned it will playback on non Apple devices. I was able to find an Mpeg 4 preset but when I use that it doesn’t include audio with the video for some reason. I’d like to be able to edit my standard def videos in FCPX but if there’s no easy way to export it I’ll have to find another editing software...

Bring your video into Compressor, and in the search field at the bottom left (Preset/Location Pane), search for PAL. I'd apply the DVCPRO50 preset.
