Each transcoding session in Compressor is known as a batch. A transcoding batch can contain
multiple source media les, referred to as jobs. Each job can be transcoded into multiple formats.
The following diagram represents a batch containing two jobs:

In the diagram above, each job is converted to two output les. The settings and save
destinations of these les are known as the targets. One output media le is created for each
target assigned to a source media le. The total number of output les created by transcoding
this batch will be four: Job 1 will create two output media les, as will Job 2.
