How to find the Create Blu-ray Built-In preset on Compressor?

Hello. So I've purchased Compressor because I made a movie on iMovie, which when exported made it an MP4. Now, I wish to make the movie into a Blu-ray (it is too big to be a normal DVD), so I purchased compressor hoping I could do this. I've seen on videos that people have a Create DVD or Create Blu-Ray Built-In preset, but mine lacks that (see photo). Hopefully someone can help me, as a I desperately need to make this MP4 file into an ISO, and I'm hoping Compressor can do this for me. Thank you!

It is not as simple as that. I made custom presets that were duplicates of the ones for DVD in Compressor 4.7.

Then I opened Compressor 4.8 and tried using these duplicates. This is what happened:



The only way to use Compressor to burn discs, AFAICT, is to get a copy of 4.7.

Maybe you have one in your Time Machine backup.

All disc burning capabilities have been removed in the latest version of Compressor.


By the way, there is a misunderstanding about the size being “too big for a dvd”. When you make a dvd, the video is recompressed, so it does not matter how many GB it is, only the duration. Any video up to 90 minutes or more can be compressed for dvd.
