Compressor 3 wont compress/load anination codec

Hello,
Something weird is happening on my system. Trying to compress SD footage on an animation
codec to m2v but getting the wheel of death spining both via a droplet and manually firing
up compressor 3 itself. There is no problem getting m2v files from the uncompressed 10 bit codec.
Both is 6.2mbps 2-pass.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thank you.

I wish I had an answer for you and I hope someone chimes in. I have been dealing with this problem since installing back in april. I don't understand it myself, makes no sense! Just dragging certain animation codec files into compressor's batch window makes my computer stall for a good 15 minutes. Tried many files (all different sizes - hd, sd, web frame sizes, short, long clips) over the months, on many computers. Sometimes it will only color wheel for 1 minute (very rare), sometimes 15. I really don't get it at all.
And this has nothing to do with the output settings, it all bogs down once the source animation file is entered into the batch (droplet or main app).
I really wish I had some workaround for you, but all I've been able to come up with is taking lunch breaks when starting my batches. Very frustrating (and a bit fattening
Best of luck!

Use Compressor to export to AVID DNXHD CODEC

Hey all,
I posted this question at the CreativeCow FCP forum - and than I thought maybe its a COMPRESSOR Forum question - so here it is:
I have installed AVID CODEC PACK LE
Currently I use FCP to export to DNXHD and its working OK (but slow).
I wanted to know if it is possible for me to use COMPRESSOR to export to AVID DNXHD CODEC.
I need it because a lot of times I need to export to this codec (for AVID System that does the Promos)
And I don't want to use FCP for that because I want to keep editing While I'm converting.
If Compressor can't export to DNXHD can I use QUICKTIME TO EXPORT TO DNX HD?
Thanks!

Create a new Quicktime Movie in Compressor. Open the Inspector window and click on the settings button next to "Video." Then click on the Compression Type pulldown menu and scroll up to the Avid section and choose "Avid DNxHD."
I've included a screen grab of what this looks like. http://www.box.net/shared/hzblfnsuu6

Assets wont finish loading in aperture

Assets wont finish loading in aperture when I attempt to import photos from an SD card, does anyone know why and have a solution?

What version of the OS and Aperture? Is this a new install or has this all worked before?
Has this SD card worked in the past? How are you importing from the SD card? Have you tried importing from another source (different SD card, different camera, etc)?

Downloaded a app and it wont finish loading i turned it on and off and got on itunes what should i do

downloaded skee-ball free app and it wont finish loading i restarted my phone, and tried to redownload it and got on itunes...it wont work i just want to delete it any solutions???

Does "got on iTunes" include downloading the app with iTunes on your computer?
If so, have you tried installing the app on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process followed by deselecting the app under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by another sync to remove the app from your iPhone?

COMPRESSOR will not compress DVD files adequately

This is a weird one. I'm using compressor to encode files for DVD studio pro. However, no matter what file I plug into compressor and no matter what DVD compression settings/data rates I choose, compressor will not compress the files small enough to fit on the DVD.
Any ideas?

Yeah, it should fit no problem.
Try a CBR setting at around 7mbps... it will compress much faster and it will be of higher quality than a VBR setting.

I'm running OSX 10.6.8. I have final cut studio 6.0.6. The compressor aps won't load. I get a compressor not loaded properly pop-up. I have loaded twice and still no compressor.

I'm running OSX 10.6.8. I have final cut studio 6.0.6. The compressor aps won't load. I get a compressor not loaded properly pop-up. I have tried reloading but still no compressor.

Start by repairing permissions. Then remove Compressor using this utility:
FCS Remover - Uninstall Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, Soundtrack Pro, Color, DVD Studio Pro, LiveType, Cinema Tools
Then reinstall and try to load Compressor. If it fails, post the error statements here.
Good luck

I had a similar problem, does the phone show anything on the screen, for example "update failed, connect to computer" if it does, try opening "Sony PC Companion 2.1" click start on "support zone" then click "phone/ tablet software update" a message will pop up, press repair my phone / tablet, select your phone in the list, then follow what it says, try doing this even if the phone shows nothing, you will lose everything, all data will be gone if you follow my steps

Hello Kevin.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Although I should say I'm not able to connect to the page from here, at the moment... So it's probably a problem with the page.

Why wont it load all my videos

why wont it load all my videos

A trick that sometimes works is to create a new administrator account and authorize from there.
But are you able to connect to the iTunes store?
It is worth checking the result of your network connectivity tests.
iTunes>>Help>>Run Diagnostics>>Network Connectivity tests.
Paste the entire result into you next post, but you can remove serial numbers.

Why is that whenever there's a power outage or whenever I restart my computer sometimes my iMac wont completely load up? It will just show a blank white screen. It will do that for a few days until it decides to fully load up.

First step would be a PRAM reset.

Post back if that does not work.
The next step would be to try "Repair Disk".

Compressor wont compress

everything was going fine until yesterday...
when i export files from FCP to compressor, i can input the settings, submit etc.
but nothing happens, usually i get the swirly balls of death. It makes FCP "not respond" until i quit compressor.
ive rebooted, i looked for preferences to trash or anything but could find nothing. i am working on time sensitive projects and feel like i could be in big trouble...any help would be greatly appreciated...

Have you tried resetting background processing?

Have you installed any updates since yesterday?
What formats are your sources and what are you compressing to?
Are you submitting your batch to a cluster or just locally?

Why is Compressor freezing when compressing?

Hi,
I would really appreciate help with this problem. Compressor has recently started freezing / getting stuck when compressing. This happened a couple of years ago and was resolved by using Compressor Repair 1.1.3. I've tried the Repair programme but, on this occasion, the problem is not solved. I'm using Compressor 3.0.5 on a MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.8. When Compressor froze today, I was compressing a 3GB QT movie using the H.264 codec.
I would appreciate any and all advice please.
Many thanks,
Fiona.

Describe in detail what happens when it freezes…whether the app crashes or whether the process hangs – or something else.
Try a short section of another movie with the same job settings to see whether it completes. (WHat is the codec of the QT movie you refer to in your initial post?)

Itunes wont open / load!! Help plz!

I have a relatively new laptop and started adding songs to itunes before I synced it to my iphone. I tried to open it 2days ago but it simply wont load/open/start. I have ehausted all ideas including uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing itunes, updating quicktime, running as adminstator, running via windows xp and system restores to name but a few but it simpy will not work. I click the icon the blue loading icon runs for about 1 second then nothing. I have a windows 8 64bit laptop if that makes any difference. Has anyone got any ideas what I could try?
Many Thanks

A usb hard drive that Windows sees doesn't need software for a simple back up.
Format the hard drive Disk Management, if it doesn't come already formatted, and then drag and drop the iTunes folder and whatever other data you want to back up to it.
What you're describing doesn't sound like something iTunes did. If you're having general install troubles you have another problem with your system and it's time for a little troubleshooting to find out what's really going on.

After using Apple Compressor It wont free up my ram

I noticed that after I use Compressor my Ram wont free up. I have 8 Gig of Ram and after using Compressor it just stays between 486 mb or 300 mb. I can only get my ram back after a reboot. What's up with that?

So i gave it a try and got this in the Terminal window after using Compressor and closing it.
failed to initialize CHUD.framework
I have no clue why or what the CHUD.framework has to do with purging the RAM.

Compressor won't compress large files from QT X Screen cap

all of my large screen capture files give a "Quicktime error: -36" when I try to transcode them in Compressor. Small ones work fine. Trimming one large file into two smaller ones makes no difference; the second of the two still fails. Ideas please..?

Need more info:
What compression settings are you using?
File size of original file?
Hard drive space remaining?
How much ram?
How many cores?
etc
Pretty much every little detail.
