Compressor 2.3 - Quicktime error:0

HI All
This morning I wake up with this new thing.
Im using FCP 5.1.1 and a 15minutes DV Pal sequence, already converted in the past. This morning I've tried to re-encode the sequence using DVD 90 min. High quality and I've got this new message : Quicktime error:0
According to Apple , this erro coul appear just in HD sequences with less 1Gb ram. In my case, I've got 1.5Gb RAM and a 720x576 PAL DVcam format.
I've done just a small test. I've esported the sequence (using export/qt/) and compressor does his job! Any idea? What I could to re-export directly from FCp?Thanks in advance!

I am going to attempt both of those options. In the meantime, I made an H264 version of the file for Blu Ray using a Matrox setting.

Compressor Job Fail Quicktime Error -120

The program quits before it even starts compressing after I click "Submit" There is no error message or any indication of why the attempt failed. Except a grey message to the side that says QuickTime Error -120
I'm using the presets. Trying to convert a QT movie (Current Settings) to a YouTube file.
Still using Compressor 3.5.3
OS 10.5.8
I trashed the prefs and started over, but the same error continues to occur.
It's odd, this is the first time it's happening. I'm taking following the same steps I've always taken.

OK.. just now out of curiosity I went back into my prefs.
Deleted 2 Quicktime P.Lists
Deleted Compressor P.List again
And just for the heck of it deleted my Final Cut User Data and Final Cut P.List
Instead of putting the word YouTube in the file name for either name, I took that out.
Clicked Submit and renamed the file once.. then the second drop down asked me to rename and I named it a different name with no spaces.
Now it's processing fine.
Not sure what I did, but something worked.

Compressor keeps failing - "Quicktime Error 0"

Hi all
Compressor 1.2.1 has decided to start playing up - whenever I submit a sequence from FCP HD 4.5, and use any of the mpeg2 presets (or indeed a custom preset) the Batch Monitor opens fine but the batch fails almost immediately, with the error message:
"QuickTime Error: 0"
Neither Compressor or Batch Monitor are crashing, the encodes are just failing. I've tried exporting from several different sequences in different projects, and they all fail.
One of the sequences is only 20 seconds long, just a clean clip captured from tape, no added effects, transitions or edits. So it's not that there's a tricky or dodgy bit of rendering or processing in the middle of the sequence that's making it stumble.
My sequence video setting is Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 - could Compressor be having problems with uncompressed video? Seems unlikely...
Oddly, the mpeg-1 preset in Compressor seems to work fine, it only fails on the mpeg-2 presets.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Im have the same problem as well. Did you guys ever figure out how to resolve the issue?
It seems like this error came up alot in previous versions of fcp, and it was tied to currupt/missing render files or missing mpeg2 components. I think the error is a bit different for fcpx. Ive tried everything I can think of as well.
Thanks,

Compressor-failed mpeg4-quicktime error -50

My much loved Compressor software has been having issues since a crash a few months ago, resulting in a system back up.
Now, somehow I'm able to compress MPEG 2 files but I cannot compress MPEG 4 files.
The attempt immediately fails in batch monitor window and reveals the error message: quicktime erroe -50.
Does anyone have an idea why this might be happening and how I could fix it?
Thank you,
sean

The latest version of QuickTime is 7.0.2 and you'll also want to update to the latest Pro Apps support package (link follows for Mac OS X 10.4.X):

You may already be up to date and even if not this may not solve your problem, but it would be a first step before trying other things.

Compressor 4 Failed Quicktime Error -50

I know, I've looked for this error in the archives and can't pinpoint what's going on. I can upload a video to my Vimeo and YouTube accounts from Final Cut Pro X but if I try to upload one from Compressor, big fail. I have been able to make it work before but apparently this is not a good week for Compressor. I trashed my preferences, ran Compressor Repair and no love. Any recommendations? Compressor 4 has been nothing but frustrating for me. I use both the Compressor templates and made my own custom settings and still... sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't. This week? No.

From your description (except for your subject title) it sounds like the file is encoded but it doesnt take the next step to the job action…or is it that the upload starts but doesn't complete?
On a "good week" for Compressor what kind of jobs are you typically submitting…other than Web Sharing for You Tube?

First try exporting a self-contained movie from FCP, the using the resulting file in Compressor. To do it, go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion). In the export window, check the self-contained option but do not "recompress all frames."
Once the export is finished, launch Compressor then use the self-contained file as the source. If that fails, you may want to try using theis: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/compressorrepair/

Compressor 2 - Quicktime error 0 revealed

After upgrading to the latest version of QT, FCP5, DVDSP4, and Compressor 2 with all the latest fixes I could not compress a 1 hr 46 min video on my quad G5 without getting the dreaded quicktime 0 error message. I spent days trying to get around this and finally settled on getting the job done through DVDSP, (see my post "compressor 2 what works for me").
I finally decided to track down the problem by spliting my project in half to see which half was failing. Then I spilt that half in two and so on for hours until I found the problem video. Turns out I had a "spin 3D" transition between a slow motion clip at 50% and a clip at regular speed. I added 1 sec of regular speed to the slo mo clip so the transition would fall between to clips at regular speed and the problem was solved. My 1hr 46 min video compressed in 3hrs 30 min. (still not as quick as the 1 hr 10 min from DVDSP4 but thats another story).
Conclusion - "Quicktime error 0" seems to be Compressors way of saying "sorry this is too complex for me." I am sure there are other combinations of transitions, filters, etc. that will cause this problem as well so APPLE, IF YOU ARE READING THIS we need a fix.
I will try more expirements but complexity in the time line seems to be the cause of compressors failure due to quicktime error 0.

I am having the same issue. I have recently purchased quicktime pro and updated to lion, I dont know if that is that causes the failure but this *****! it's the 4rth time i try to compress a 15 minute file, it takes about 3 hours and when there is 10 minutes to go.... pooooof!!! game over!

Compressor error - Failed: Quicktime error 0

I'm sending my FCP sequence directly to Compressor and I'm getting this message after I submit: "Failed: Quicktime error 0". It's a 34 minute sequence. I'm using DVD Best Quality - 90 Minutes as my setting. I've googled this error and I'm seeing some folks suggest that there may be a corrupt file in the FCP sequence. Others say that it may be an insufficient RAM issue (not my issue). My questions:
- Has anyone seen this before? If so, how did you resolve?
- If this is due to a corrupt file, how would I go about finding that corrupt file?
Any help would be appreciated. I'm up against a deadline about to get into panic mode. thanks!

Michael,
Try cutting your sequence into ten minute segments to narrow down the problem, if indeed it is a corrupt clip or file.
You may also want to post your sequence settings, also do you have any stills in your timeline, if you do are they in RGB color space and not CYMK

Compressor quicktime error -50

i have an fcp project i need to convert to mpeg 4 improved for fast cable streaming. after completing my upgrades of fcp 4.5 and compressor 1.2.1 and fixing the QMaster the file got to the batch monitor. after a second of processing it quit. history says failed: quicktime error-50. any ideas for a fix?

If I may just chime in here with my experience with QT error -50, this seems to be a bug, which I have reported to the FCP development team. There is also another error that compressors batch monitor also reports which is Quicktime error -6662.
These error seem to be quite prevalent on the Intel Mac Pros, but on my G5/quad these errors rarely occur. I have tested the same source files on both workstations, (Mac Pro and G5/quad) and the errors are just about exclusive to the intel's. Once in a blue moon I will get a quicktime error -50, preventing the encode to complete on the G5/quad.
The preliminary opinion of Apple support was that the errors may be related to writing to any drive other than the boot drive, but seems to be a guess at this point, rather than fact. My testing of this hypotheses seems to disprove this assumption, being that I used the boot drive in my test as the destination drive, for encodes.
Still waiting for Apple to address this problem.

Compressor issue, keep getting Failed: QuickTime error.-50. Anyone knows why?

I have this problem too, I sent a 1hr long video to Compressor from FCP and trying to save it in H.264

Any help would be much appreciated!

Quicktime error -2045. I can't use compressor! someone can help me?

When I try to send any video with compressor, never starts. Always appear this message: Quicktime error -2045. I have looked on internet and didn't find anything about that. Someone can help me? what I'm doing wrong?

What version of Compressor? Are you sending fom FCP X or another version of Final Cut?
I don't know the implications of getting that particular error code.

Compressor error "QuickTime Error 0"

I am trying to compress a 7 min. video using Final Cut Studio outputting directly to compressor, after about 45 min. of compressing I get the error message "Failure Quicktime Error 0"
Settings: 2 pass VBR 6.7 - 7.2, 16 x 9
This movie does have alot of transitions, effects etc.
I am able to compress a Sorenson version for review.
Any guidence would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
James

...Some more info on this topic.
I tried the same process on another G5 and got the same error so I don't think it's a machine specific related problem. I also tried rendering the video via Quicktime export uncompressed and got the error: FXScript Divide by 0. Now I think it must be one of my effects or several that is causing the problem.
I am going to go back to previous versions of the project and see if I can render, then perhaps I can isolate the problem. I'll let you all know if I solve it. I have searched the threads and google but have only found more people with the problem and no solutions.
Thanks,
James

QuickTime Error: 0 message from Compressor

I recently exported several sequences from FCPro 5.5 to Compressor for conversion to MPEG-2. For some reason, two of the sequences (one is the longest, but only by several seconds; the other is nowhere near the longest) fail in Compressor with the message "QuickTime Error: 0".
I'm pretty sure I'll be able to export those sequences to QuickTime movies then bring those movies into Compressor afterwards...but I'd really like Compressor to work the way it's supposed to. Anyone know what might be going wrong here?
Thanks.

Okay, I solved the problem. Turned out I had installed Perian (http://perian.org/) a few days back so I could generate FLV movies. (Turned out I didn't need it anyway.) Anyways, it seems to interfere with playback of certain QuickTime movies. I removed Perian, and the problem went away.

Quicktime error 0 with compressor

Every time I try to export a sequence from FCP 5.0.2 using compressor I get an error when it tries to export the video saying "quicktime error 0" also when I try to export as a quicktime movie, I get a message saying "general error" im running compressor 2.0.1
any help is greatly appreciated
thanks
~jon

Udate: The contained Quicktime file that I exported from FCPX rendered fully with no errors in Compressor, so I guess I"m in the clear, but I think this was an unnecessary extra step. Its a mystery why I was getting the error when sending the render to Compressor from within FCPX.
Anyone else that has this issue, please share any solutions if you have them.

QuickTime Error:-23 in compressor when I try to render any sequence

QuickTime Error:-23
I have been getting this error in Compressor when I try to render out of FCP and have tried reinstalling FCP and Compressor and then QuickTime 7.6.4. Has anyone ever seen this.
I am running OS 10.5.8 FCP 6.0.6 and QuickTime 7.6.4
Thanks in advance

Ok I am going to answer my own question.
I just uninstalled the matrox mxo2 software to run the device. Now I can render out of compressor. I guess I have to find a way to run both. I have to go to matrox and get find out how to get this to work.
